Effect of Formulation of Li Greases on Their Flow and Ball Bearing Torque

This paper describes a study on the effect of base oil type and thickener type on bearing torques with Li type greases. Using a ball bearing tribometer equipped with a torque sensor, friction torque behaviors were determined for model Li greases with different hydrocarbon type base oils. The results...
