Half fluid grease is a general term for grease with consistency in the range of 000~0. Semi-fluid grease is only for "hardness ", not for other quality indicators or product types. Semi-fluid grease state between lubricating oil and plastic grease, generally suitable for replacing large viscosity lubricating oil.
the semi-fluid grease has excellent fluidity and performance. under the action of no external force, the flow is produced by the action of its own gravity, which overcomes the disadvantage that ordinary grease is not easy to flow when there is no external force, solves the problem of easy leakage during the use of lubricating oil, and reduces the requirements for complex seals.
Because the semi-fluid grease itself has fluidity, it keeps the characteristics of good cooling performance and fast heat dissipation, which makes up for the shortcomings of the traditional grease cooling effect is poor. At the same time, the use of semi-fluid grease can also save the consumption of lubricants, simplify equipment maintenance, and prolong service life. so it has a broad application prospect.
Properties of Semi-fluid Lipids
Semi-fluid grease is a high quality base oil thickened by organic thickener and refined with a variety of additives. It has many advantages besides general grease.
Good flow performance
The fluidity of semi-fluid grease is much better than that of general grease. It will become thinner with the increase of gear shear speed, and will become thicker with the decrease of shear speed. This ensures that the friction pair can maintain enough lubricating oil film at different speed during operation, thus prolonging the service life of the gear.
Excellent sealing performance
Compared with lubricating oil, semi-fluid grease is not easy to release from the oil outlet in the short term after adding the reducer, so it can effectively prevent the leakage of lubricating oil from the gear box, and it is not easy to be stolen, and does not pollute the equipment and environment.
Low power consumption
the dynamic loss of the friction pair is not only dependent on the consistency of the lubricant, but also closely related to the friction force at the friction site. The friction coefficient of semi-fluid grease is small, so the power consumption will not increase after using semi-fluid grease.
Less current consumption
Good start-up is an important performance of gear transmission, especially it is more important to have low starting current while starting smoothly. Compared with gear oil, the current of semi-fluid grease is smaller than that of gear oil, which indicates that semi-fluid grease will not increase the power consumption.
Good ability to reduce wear
the semi-fluid grease has a stronger adsorption capacity on the metal surface than the lubricating oil, can form a relatively strong oil film, and can withstand a higher working load, can effectively avoid dry friction between the tooth surfaces, and can play a very good protective role on gears and bearings.
