Grease Lubrication in Rolling Bearings (PDF)

The definitive book on the science of grease lubrication for
roller and needle bearings in industrial and vehicle
engineering.

Grease Lubrication in Rolling Bearings provides an
overview of the existing knowledge on the various aspects of grease
lubrication (including lubrication systems) and the state of the
art models that exist today. The book reviews the physical and
chemical aspects of grease lubrication, primarily directed towards
lubrication of rolling bearings.

The first part of the book covers grease composition, properties
and rheology, including thermal and dynamics properties. Later
chapters cover the dynamics of greased bearings, including grease
life, bearing life, reliability and testing. The final chapter
covers lubrications systems - the systems that deliver grease
to the components requiring lubrication.

Grease Lubrication in Rolling Bearings:

* Describes the underlying physical and chemical properties of
grease.

* Discusses the effect of load, speed, temperature, bearing
geometry, bearing materials and grease type on bearing wear.

* Covers both bearing and grease performance, including
thermo-mechanical ageing and testing methodologies.

It is intended for researchers and engineers in the
petro-chemical and bearing industry, industries related to this
(e.g. wind turbine industry, automotive industry) and for
application engineers. It will also be of interest for teaching in
post-graduate courses.
