Definitions
- This invention relates to a grease composition and to use of the grease composition in a sealed bearing.
- Sealed bearings are used in many different types of machinery.
- the seals prevent the ingress of dirt and water that could damage the bearing and impair the functioning of the machinery.
- Typical seal materials include acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and fluoroelastomers (FKM).
- NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
- FKM fluoroelastomers
- a grease is provided at the seal contact in order to prolong the life of the seal. There can be significant friction at the seal-metal interface which can lead to heat generation and a loss of efficiency.
- the present inventors have sought to provide grease compositions that can act to reduce the friction at the seal-metal interface and thereby improve the efficiency of sealed bearings.
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that the combination of a low viscosity polyalphaolefin base oil with a calcium thickener can provide a grease generating particularly low friction at a seal-metal interface.
- the present invention provides a grease composition comprising from 40 to 90 wt % of a first base oil component which is a polyalphaolefin and having a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of between 1 and 5mm 2 /s, wherein the weight percentage is based upon the weight of the grease composition, and comprising a thickener which is a C 13 -C 21 fatty acid salt of calcium.
- the present invention provides the use of a grease composition at a seal-metal interface in a sealed bearing wherein the grease composition comprises a base oil and a thickener, wherein the base oil comprises from 40 to 90 wt % of a first base oil which is a polyalphaolefin and has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of between 1 and 5 mm 2 /s, wherein the weight percentage is based upon the weight of the grease composition, and comprises a thickener which is a C 13 -C 21 fatty acid salt of calcium.
- the grease composition comprises from 40 to 90 wt % of a first base oil component which is a polyalphaolefin and has a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of between 1 and 5 mm 2 /s.
- the grease composition may comprise further base oils, but preferably the first base oil component makes up at least 50 wt %, and preferably at least 80 wt % of the total base oil (based upon the total weight of base oil in the grease composition).
- the thickener in the grease composition is a C 13 -C 21 fatty acid salt of calcium, and preferably is a hydrogenated castor oil fatty acid salt of calcium.
- the amount of thickener is preferably from 2 to 18 wt %, based upon the weight of the grease composition, more preferably from 2 to 14 wt %.
- the grease composition of this invention may also comprise anti-oxidants, rust preventatives, oiliness agents, extreme pressure additives, anti-wear agents, solid lubricants, metal deactivators, polymers, detergents and other additives.
- the anti-oxidants include, for example, 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol, 2,6-di-t-butyl-paracresol, P,P′-dioctyldiphenylamine, N-phenyl- ⁇ -naphthylamine and phenothiazines.
- the rust preventatives include paraffin oxide, carboxylic acid metal salts, sulphonic acid metal salts, carboxylic acid esters, sulphonic acid esters, succinic acid esters, sorbitan esters and various amine salts.
- the oiliness agents, extreme pressure additives and anti-wear agents include, for example, sulphurised zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates, sulphurised zinc diaryl dithiophosphates, sulphurised zinc dialkyl dithiocarbamates, sulphurised zinc diaryl dithiocarbamates, sulphurised molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphates, sulphurised molybdenum diaryl dithiophosphates, sulphurised molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamates, sulphurised molybdenum diaryl dithiocarbamates, organic molybdenum complexes, sulphurised olefins, triphenylphosphates, triphenylphosphorothionates, tricresylphosphates, other phosphate esters and sulphurised fats and oils.
- the solid lubricants include, for example, molybdenum disulphide, graphite, boron nitride, melamine cyanurate, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), tungsten disulphide, mica, graphite fluoride and so on.
- the metal deactivators include, for example, N,N′-disalicylidene-1,2-diaminopropane, benzotriazole, benzoimidazole, benzothiazole and thiadiazole.
- the grease compositions may be manufactured using standard grease manufacturing routes.
- the grease compositions of the invention are suitably used at a seal-metal interface in a sealed bearing.
- the seal is suitably made from a material such as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), hydrotreated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) or a fluoroelastomer (FKM).
- NBR acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
- HNBR hydrotreated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
- FKM fluoroelastomer
- the bearing will contain a lubricant and the grease composition of the invention should be applied such that the grease composition is not contaminated by the lubricant.
- Greases were prepared by adding base oil and fatty acid to a kettle, heating to 85-90° C. (at 3° C./min) and stirring at 100 rpm. Calcium hydroxide was added as a powder and then water was added. The kettle was closed and heated to 135° C. (at 2° C./min). The contents were stirred at 100 rpm and the wall temperature limit of the kettle was set at 140° C. The kettle was vented approximately 40 minutes after reaching 135° C. Additional base oil was heated to 80° C. and then added via a pump to the kettle. The contents were stirred at 150 rpm for 5 minutes and the product temperature was kept between 130 and 135° C.
- a nitrogen tube was connected the kettle, and the contents were exposed to nitrogen flow for 15 minutes, thereby dehydrating the sample.
- the contents were cooled to 100° C. (at 2° C./min) with stirring at 100 rpm.
- Additives were added, using additional base oil for dilution, at 80° C. or lower. After addition of an additive, the contents were stirred for 1 minute at 100rpm.
- the contents were then cooled to 50-60° C. (controlled by wall temperature setting: 20° C. at 5° C./min and stirring at 100 rpm). De-aeration was begun at 70° C., using a vacuum of ⁇ 150 mbar for 10 minutes and stirring at 50 rpm.
- the product was homogenised at 1 ⁇ 300bar.
- the PAO 2.0 was a polyalphaolefin and had a viscosity at 100° C. of 2.0 cSt.
- the XHVI 3.0 and XHVI 4.0 were base oils made by a Fischer-Tropsch process and were obtained from Shell.
- the XHVI 3.0 had a viscosity at 100° C. of 3.0 cSt and the XHVI 4.0 had a viscosity at 100° C. of 4.0 cSt.
- HCOFA is hydrogenated castor oil fatty acid.
- the additive package was the same in each of the example and comparative examples.
- the grease composition of the invention shows considerably lower friction than the grease compositions of the comparative examples (wherein the base oils have similar viscosities
