Propiedades de desempeo afectadas por el tipo de espesante
Punto de Goteo - lithium complex, polyurea and clay tienen
altos puntos de goteo
Estabilidad de la composicin - lithium complex and simple
lithium tienen excelente estabilidad mecnica
Resistencia al agua - calcium sulfonate, lithium complex,
polyurea and simple lithium todas tienen buena resistencia
al agua
Bombeabilidad - lithium, lithium complex and polyurea todas
tienen buena bombeabilidad
Factores de la aplicacin que afectan la eleccin del espesante
Frecuencia de relubricacin - polyurea excelente para llenado
de por vida
OEM requirements Especificados por el fabricante
Compatibilidad Debe ser evaluada caso por caso
Notar que muchas de estas propiedades tambin son influenciadas
por los aceites base y los aditivos
Consideraciones del espesante al escoger grasa
Por qu actualizar a una grasa sinttica?
Las grasas sintticas tienen grandes caractersticas para resolver
problemas, aumentar la rentabilidad y el ahorro de dinero
La grasa sinttica correctamente escogida puede proveer:
Mejorar los indicadores de viscosidad y la lubricacin EHL
(Elasto-hidrodinmica) as como el espesor de pelcula.
Larga vida a altas temperaturas
Extraordinario desempeo a baja temperatura
Alto desempeo y mayor biodegradabilidad
Resduce los costos y la complejidad del mantenimiento
Menos productos necesarios en campo

Compatibilidad de Grasas
Concepto General

Dos grasas son compatibles si estas se pueden mezclar (como en la
aplicacin) y su consistencia est dentro del grado NLGI (30-45
mm/10) or menos de la grasa inicial

Cuidado!

Cuando no exista compatibilidad de grasas, la grasa original debe
ser completamente removida del equipo

Method

The two fresh products are mixed at designated ratios
(Wt.%)
Penetrations are performed on all mixtures before and
after two hours of roll shearing (ASTM D 1831) at ambient
temperature (20-35C).
Penetrations are compared graphically

Como determinar los lmites de alta temperatura?
La industria ha usado un rango de criterios para determinar los lmites
de alta temperatura:
Recomendaciones basadas en los niveles del punto de goteo
Estndares de los fabricantes de equipos obtenidos de pruebas
ExxonMobil ha optado por basar sus recomendaciones en el test de
rodamientos FE9 usadas en la clasificacin de desempeo para grasas
Europea DIN / ISO
Pope and R0F data puede ser usada para desarrollar
recomendaciones en aplicaciones especficas
More conservative temperature guidance does not reflect a change in
product performance
Recomendaciones deben ser probadas contra el rgimen de
lubricacin EHL
(FAG FE 9 High Speed Angular Contact Ball
Bearing (DIN 51821))
Purpose
Measure the friction properties of grease.
Description
5 ball bearings are packed with 2 cc of
grease
Ball bearings are placed in angular
contact at high temperature (120- 200C),
speed (3000 or 6000 rpm), and load (1500,
3000, or 4500 N axial)
Test is ended when the drive power
required to turn the bearing increases to
twice its original value because of starved
lubrication
Then possible to determine the frictional
moment of the test bearing from the
increase in motor output
Results
The time at which the bearings have a
failure probability of 10% and 50%
(denoted L10 and L50) are calculated from
the data
204 K Ball Bearing
(POPE Test (ASTM D 3336))
Purpose
Evaluate grease evaporation and
oxidation resistance in a lightly loaded,
high speed, heated ball bearing. Test is
named for the builder of the high speed
spindle, Pope Spindle Co.
Description
204 K ball bearing is packed with 3.2 cc of
grease
Rotated at 10,000 rpm under light load
while heated to 150C, 177C, or other test
temperature
Test cycle is twenty hours of running and
four hours at rest
When electrical current to operate the
spindle motor increases by 300% of the
value of the newly packed bearing, testing
is stopped
Results
The number of running hours is the test
result

Influencias del criterio de seleccin en el
desempeo a altas temperaturas
Historicamente el desempeo a altas temperaturas estaba
basado en el punto de goteo
Regla prctica: Fijar la mxima temperatura de trabajo a
100F (55C) menos que el punto de goteo
Los ensayos en rodamiento estn diseados para exigir a la
grasa en condiciones mas reales para emular mejor los modos
reales de falla :
Degradacin mecnica u oxidacin del espesante
Evaporacin del aceite base y oxidacin
Secado de la grasa por separacin de aceite
Los rangos de temperatura fijados con ensayos en rodamientos,
no son tan amplios como los obtenidos en funcin al punto de
goteo

(Como se determina el desempeo a bajas
temperaturas?)
There are a number of aspects of low temperature performance
that may be considered in determination of low temperature
limits for a given application
Low temperature bearing torque
industrial ball bearing criteria generally based on ASTM
D1478 (or similar) tests
industry automotive roller bearing by ASTM D 4693
Dispensing equipment limitations related to slumping behavior,
pressure drop in delivery lines, or metering device
considerations
ASTM D 1092 / USS Mobility and Lincoln Ventmeter tests
commonly used to develop system-specific guidance
OEM guidelines for larger bearings based on EHL / lubricity may
be even more conservative (based on bearing wear tests)

Photos depict test ball
bearing and test rig.
(Low Temperature Torque of Ball Bearings
(ASTM D 1478))
Purpose
Evaluate the extent to which a grease retards
rotation of a slow speed ball bearing at low
temperatures
Description

with grease and cooled to test temperature
Bearing is rotated at 1 rpm to measure the
starting and running torque, indications of
greases consistency at test temperature
Helpful in selection of greases for low

bearings

Apparent Viscosity (ASTM D 1092)
Purpose
Determine the apparent viscosity of a grease.
Apparent viscosity versus shear rate
information can be useful in predicting pressure
drops in grease distribution systems
Description
Sample of grease is forced through a series of 8
capillary tubes by a floating piston actuated by
the hydraulic system
Pressure in the hydraulic system is measured
Equipment designed so determinations can be
made at any temperature between -54C and
28C
Results
Results (in Poises) are shown graphically
Apparent viscosity vs. shear rate at a constant
temperature
Apparent viscosity vs. temperature at a
constant shear rate

The pressure data is plotted to show the apparent viscosity as Poise vs shear rate
The shear rate is the force delivered by the combination of piston speeds and capillaries which are sixteen
different shear rates.
This data can also be plotted to give pressure drop, pump size and other grease handling details when the
