Insight into High-Temperature Lubricants
This reference material is from this fantastic online resource, Machinery Lubrication, published by NORIA.
Why use a high-temperature lubricant?
- It may be a requirement of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This means a particular brand or lubricant type has been tested by the OEM with approved results. Also, always verify the operating conditions to ensure they are consistent with what the OEM expects.
- Another reason a high-temperature lubricant might be chosen is an abnormal machine condition. However, while a better-performing lubricant may help mitigate the problem, it is imperative to correct the root cause.
- New operating conditions or new technology may also motivate favouring high-temperature lubricants and simply desiring to enhance performance for improved reliability.
3 Simple Rules for establishing the maximum operating grease temperature if not provided by the grease manufacturer
- If the grease dropping point is less than 150°C, subtract 24°C from the dropping point.
- If the dropping point is higher than 150°C but less than 205°C, subtract 38°C from the dropping point.
- If the dropping point exceeds 205°C, subtract 65°C from the dropping point.
