Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a lubrication capsule and a machine element comprising at least one such lubrication capsule.
  • the present invention also concerns a method for lubricating a machine element using at least one such lubrication capsule.
  • An automatic lubrication system often referred to as a centralized lubrication system, generally comprises a controller or timer, a pump and lubricant reservoir, metering valves and fittings, and supply and feed lines, typically delivers a controlled amount of lubricant, such as grease or oil, to one or more specific locations in a machine while the machine is operating, at specific times from a central location.
  • a controller or timer typically delivers a controlled amount of lubricant, such as grease or oil, to one or more specific locations in a machine while the machine is operating, at specific times from a central location.
  • grease in the context of lubrication, is used to describe a semi-solid lubricant consisting of a thickener, typically a soap, emulsified with mineral or vegetable oil and/or other fluid lubricant.
  • Grease possesses a high initial viscosity, which upon the application of shear, drops to give the effect of oil lubrication of approximately the same viscosity as the base oil used in the grease.
  • Greases are applied to machine elements that can only be lubricated infrequently and where a lubricating oil would not stay in position.
  • Grease also protects the machine elements that it lubricates against corrosion and wear, it helps to dissipate heat, seal out solid and liquid contamination, and reduces noise. Adequate lubrication allows for smooth continuous operation of equipment, with only mild wear, and without excessive stresses or seizures at components such as bearings. When lubrication fails, components can rub destructively over each other, causing damage, heat, and failure. Lubrication failure can be caused by insufficient lubricant quantity or viscosity, deterioration due to prolonged service without replenishment, excessive temperatures, contamination with foreign matter, the use of an incorrect grease for a particular application and/or over-lubricating.
  • the grease used has to be precisely selected for the particular application and applied in the right amount, at the right frequency and to the right place(s) in the machine elements.
  • Factors influencing the choice of grease for a bearing application include the bearing's rotational speed, service temperature range, running noise requirements, re-lubrication intervals, sealing, starting torque, load and running conditions and environmental influences.
  • the grease may leak, evapourate and/or harden. Oil may be depleted from the grease leaving a thick waxy substance with little or no ability to lubricate. New grease may be applied, however, to prevent premature wear and damage, manufacturers recommend that old grease is removed and replaced with new grease on a periodic basis, which can be a complex and time consuming process since it often requires equipment to be dismantled and carefully cleaned.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative.
  • At least one of these objects is achieved by a capsule containing at least one component of a lubricant for a machine element, whereby the capsule comprises an external wall comprising a first substance that is arranged to perish (i.e. to become at least partly destroyed or ruined whereby the contents of the capsule will no longer be encapsulated therein) during the use of the machine element when the capsule is placed in and/or around the machine element and/or into lubricant being used to lubricate the machine element.
  • Such a capsule may for example contain a liquid, semi-liquid or solid lubricant (such as a dry powder) and/or lubricant part (such as the liquid lubricant part of a grease) and/or a lubricant additive.
  • the capsule may for example be in the form of a pellet, tablet or spheroid and/or may have a hard or soft external wall, such as an external wall made from an aqueous solution of a gelling agent such as animal protein (gelatin), a plant polysaccharide or its derivative, such as a carrageenan and/or a modified form of starch and cellulose.
  • the external wall may comprise a plasticizer such as glycerin and/or sorbital.
  • the external wall itself may comprise said at least one component of a lubricant.
  • the capsule may be of any suitable size and shape, depending on the application, ranging from a few mm in maximum transverse dimension to a few centimeters in maximum transverse dimension.
  • the capsule comprises at least one inner encapsulating wall comprising a second substance that is arranged to perish during the use of the machine element when subjected to a first condition.
  • a capsule may namely comprise one or more inner encapsulating walls comprising (i.e. containing and/or comprising) the same, or a different at least one component of a lubricant.
  • the first substance and/or said second substance is/are oil-soluble, is/are arranged to dissolve on contact with a liquid at a pre-determined temperature and/or predetermined pressure, and/or is/are arranged be mechanically destroyed by the machine element.
  • At least one capsule may namely be added to the lubricant lubricating a machine element and/or placed in and/or around the machine element.
  • the at least one capsule is arranged to perish if/when needed.
  • an oil-soluble external wall of the at least one capsule may be arranged to perish by dissolving in oil at that temperature.
  • a capsule comprises at least one inner encapsulating wall comprising a second substance, the second substance may be arranged to dissolve in oil at a different temperature.
  • a capsule may comprise one smaller capsule, or a plurality of smaller capsules of the same size or of a different size, which small capsule(s) is/are arranged to perish under different conditions than the external wall and/or at least one other inner encapsulating wall.
  • a capsule may be arranged to perish by being crushed by the machine element it is lubricating.
  • at least one capsule may be provided in and/or around the machine element (such as between a rolling element bearing's rolling elements and outer ring) before it is put into use so that the machine element will be lubricated once it is put into use, i.e. the lubricant will fill the spaces in the machine element not already occupied by lubricant.
  • at least one capsule may be supplied to a machine element during its use to lubricate/re-lubricate the machine element or to add at least one component of a lubricant, such as an additive, to the lubricant lubricating the machine element.
  • the capsule comprises a plurality of inner encapsulating walls and a number of the plurality of inner encapsulating walls comprises the second substance that is arranged to perish when subjected to a first condition, and a number of the plurality of inner encapsulating walls comprises a third substance that is arranged to perish when subjected to a second condition.
  • the external wall of a capsule may be arranged to have a first thickness and at least one inner encapsulating wall of a capsule may be arranged to have a second thickness, whereby the second thickness may be the same as or different to the first thickness.
  • the thickness and/or composition of an external wall and/or an inner encapsulating wall need not necessarily be uniform.
  • the capsule comprises a fluid lubricant, such as mineral oil, synthetic oil and/or vegetable oil, a polyalphaolefin, an ester, a polyether.

  • the capsule comprises at least one of the following: a tackifier, an elastomer, an anti-wear additive, an anti-corrosion additive, an EP additive, an anti-oxidant.
  • Some greases are labeled “EP”, which indicates “extreme pressure”. Under high pressure or shock loading, normal grease can be compressed to the extent that the greased parts come into physical contact, causing friction and wear.
  • EP grease contains solid lubricants, usually graphite and/or molybdenum disulfide, to provide protection under heavy loadings. The solid lubricants bond to the surface of metal components, and prevent metal-to-metal contact and the resulting friction and wear when the lubricant film gets too thin.
  • Teflon may for example be added to improve the lubricating properties of the lubricant.
  • Glycerol and sorbitan esters may be added to lubricant that is intended to be used in low temperature conditions. Copper may be added to lubricant intended for a high pressure applications.
