Radial Bearings

• Applications that require extremely low torque or narrow range of torque variation, are suited to use oil as a lubricant.

• Greases are comprised of a base oil and a thickener. The life obtained from greases is considerably greater than that of just oil. This is because of a continuous mechanism of lubrication by base oil separation coming from the construction of the thickener.
• Calculating grease life and performance in sealed-for-life ball bearings includes many complicated factors, such that grease life calculation formulas in the industry at this time will likely show different results than actual life.
• In recent years, using plastic material around the bearing has become more common, so the proper selection of lubricant is even more critical to prevent compatibility issues.
• Miniature and instrument ball bearings are typically filled with a 30% (±5%) by volume fill quantity.
