NORMAL Grease Lubrication goes through 3 phases:
Churning Phase
- Reservoir formation
- Fully flooded
Bleeding Phase
- Reservoir consumed
- Starved EHD, occasional film breakdown and replenishment
Severe Film Breakdown
- Reservoir depleted
- Metal-metal wear
Noion Grease Lubrication has 2 NEW phases:
Noion’s New Phases
Noion greases do not fit into the same description of lubrication phases for bearings as soap-based greases.
During the Adjustment Phase, the degradation of the thickener close to the shear zones leads to the formation of friction modifiers originating from the PP-thickener.
During the Extended Lubrication Phase, bleeding is now significantly extended as the combination of shear and temperature keeps the contact feed with lubricant.
Adjustment Phase
- Local degradation of thickener
- In-situ creation of friction modifier
Extended Lubrication Phase
- Reservoir consumed and regenerated
- Estarved EHD, ocassional film breakdown and replenishment
