NEW! Bearing Grease Quantity & Re-greasing Frequency Calculator.

With high accuracy, quickly calculate the right grease amount and frequency with our Bearing Re-greasing Quantity & Frequency Calculator.

Optimize lubrication, Minimize grease waste, and prevent premature bearing failures.

Enter your bearing dimensions & speed data


Select bearing operating conditions


Vibration: ips = inches/sec (0.2 inches/ sec = 5mm/sec)

Grease Quantity: - grams

Re-Lubrication Frequency: - hours (- days)




Understanding these results:

  1. The correct grease is required: The grease quantity and frequency assume a suitable grease is being used. The wrong grease will not protect your bearings.
  2. Frequency of re-lubrication: The frequency result may suggest if switching to automated lubrication is a considerable and cost-effective option.

 

Cautionary Notes:

  • Usage of the calculator: Use this calculator only if OEM guidelines aren’t available. Otherwise, if available, refer to equipment manuals for specific guidelines on lubricants and lubrication frequencies.

  • Correct Grease & Viscosity: Choose the right grease type and viscosity. The most suitable grease for the application depends on the thickener and the oil in the grease: 

    • Calcium thickener: Suitable for high-loads
    • Aluminum thickener: Suitable for wet environments
    • Polyurea: High temperatures (above 160°C)
    • PTFE: High temperatures (above 200°C)
    • High viscosity: Suitable for high-loads
    • Low viscosity: Suitable for high-speeds
      Any many more

  • Condition-Based Maintenance: Adapt re-greasing frequency based on the environment and bearing health.

  • Quality Lubricants: Use only high-quality lubricants to prevent bearing damage. Speciality greases are developed to ensure the prevention of premature failure of bearings in different operating conditions.

  • Prevent Contamination: Protect grease from contamination during storage and application. With contaminated grease, you essentially have a grinding paste.

  • Training: Ensure personnel understand proper lubrication practices. Lubrication is a skill and training is available.
