bearing units

Reduced lubricant leakage Because the base oil is retained in a solid mixture, it is less likely to leak out of the bearing. During operation, temperature rise and/or centrifugal force will cause a gradual release of the base oil into the raceway groove. Eliminating grease leakage from the bearing ensures a consistent supply of lubricant and prevents contamination of the surrounding environment. Superior lubrication Bearings with solid grease resist grease leakage prolonging bearing life in applications where high centrifugal force or vibration are present. The solid lubricant does not emulsify when exposed to water also extending both grease and bearing life.  Low torque characteristics The running torque of spot-pack bearings with solid grease is lower than that of bearings using standard lubricants. With conventional greases, a shearing resistance is created as the grease is channeled out of the raceway groove. Spot-pack bearings with solid grease do not experience shear resistance resulting in a lower running torque.
