What is grease density?

What is grease density?

In oils, it is usually indicated in the temperature of +15°C or +20°C, in units kg/m3. Lubricant densities range between about 700 and 950 kg/m3, depending on the quality, viscosity and additive content of the lubricant.

What kind of grease do you use for axles?

I would apply a light coating of white lithium grease. It is thin enough that it it won’t be wiped off the shaft sliding through the bearings. It also is resistant to getting washed off by rain or routine washing. The light coating of grease should keep the shaft from seizing in the bearings.

What grade is wheel bearing grease?

NLGI 2 grade
The grease used for most wheel bearings should meet the NLGI GC-LB requirements or the SAE J2695 requirements. Most wheel bearings require an NLGI 2 grade grease, while some sealed hub units require an NLGI 00 grade semi-fluid product.

What is axle grease?

Definitions of axle grease. a thick heavy grease used to lubricate axles. type of: grease, lubricating oil. a thick fatty oil (especially one used to lubricate machinery)

How do you find the density of grease?

Mathematically, density, mass and volume are related according to the following formula: ρ=m/V where ρ=density, m=mass and V=volume. The density of most oils will range between 700 and 950 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). By definition, water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3.

What is an EP grease?

EP grease is a grease designed for extreme pressure. Putting AP or MP grease in situations where the grease will be put under such high pressures may cause more wear to the machinery in the long run. However, EP grease can be used almost anywhere that AP or MP grease would be needed.

Is CV grease the same as bearing grease?

Re: Cv joint grease Vs wheel bearing grease CV grease usually has Molybdenum Disulphide in it. This in itself is like a solid lubricant. CV’s are turning as fast as the wheel bearing, but also have to roll 90deg to that turning direction to adjust for things like bumps and turning.

What is axle grease made of?

Axle grease usually meant wagon axle grease. Its composition was variable but generally included tallow and either palm oil or linseed oil.

What is wheel bearing grease?

2 Grease is an inorganic clay base, high temperature, and non-melting grease. It has high oxidation and extreme mechanical stability and is recommended for passenger car wheel bearings, particularly vehicles fitted with disc brakes.
