Abstract

An overview on the performance of bearings is presented. Hydrolysis tend to shorten the life of some phosphate, silicate and ester synthetic oils. Additives extend oil life by interrupting oxidation reaction chains and by deactivating any catalytic metal surfaces touching the oil. Speed reduction factor is directly proportional to the distance grease must travel to feed the width of ball or roller tracks.
