One of the most important factors for the effective functioning of a miniature ball bearing is the lubricant and the lubrication method. Due to the size of the miniature ball bearings, there may be considerable differences in performance characteristics between individual lubricants.<\/p>\n
The choice of lubricant, its quantity and its distribution within the bearing are crucial.\nThe following features must therefore be taken into account:<\/p>\n<\/div>
Speed of the inner and \/ or outer ring<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Type of rotation (with interruptions, continuous, oscillating, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Loads<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Operating temperature and ambient temperature<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Permissible noise emission<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Expected service life<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Storage time before use<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Ambient conditions (vacuum, chemicals, aggressive media, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Required starting and running friction torque<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
Our research and development department works together with our lubricant suppliers to develop the optimum solution for the customer’s specific application.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of types of oils, greases and solid lubricants have been tested and are available to meet the highest requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Available products are normally available with the following standard lubricants:<\/p>\n<\/div>
L23 (oil)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
G48 (grease)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
