How to Select the Right Bearing Lubricant
Selecting the right bearing lubricant is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Consider these key factors when choosing lubricants for your bearings:
- 1
Bearing Type and Design
Different bearing types (ball, roller, needle) have different lubrication requirements based on their design and contact surfaces.
- 2
Operating Conditions
Consider temperature range, speed, load, and environmental factors (moisture, dust, vibration).
- 3
Relubrication Frequency
Consider maintenance schedules and accessibility for relubrication when selecting grease life and properties.
- 4
Base Oil Viscosity
Select appropriate viscosity based on bearing speed and operating temperature for optimal oil film formation.
- 5
Compatibility
Ensure compatibility with bearing materials, seals, and existing lubricants if complete purging is not possible.

Select the Right Bearing Grease Consistency
Choose the appropriate NLGI grade based on bearing type, speed, and load. Softer greases (NLGI 0-1) are suitable for high-speed or low-temperature applications, while firmer greases (NLGI 2-3) are better for heavy loads and higher temperatures. Most industrial bearings use NLGI 2 grease for general applications.
Proper Bearing Relubrication Procedures
When regreasing bearings, first clean the grease fitting, then purge old grease by adding new grease until clean grease appears at the seals. Allow the bearing to run for a few minutes to distribute the grease, then remove any excess. Over-greasing can cause overheating and premature bearing failure, especially in high-speed applications.
Bearing Grease Compatibility
Avoid mixing different types of bearing greases unless compatibility is confirmed. Incompatible thickeners can cause softening, hardening, or separation of the grease, leading to inadequate lubrication and bearing failure. If changing grease types is necessary, thoroughly clean the bearing and housing before applying the new grease.
