Palmax RBG

KYODO YUSHI CO., LTD.

PALMAX RBG is able to control oil separation through temperature conditions. Providing a function similar to oil lubrication, it contributes to extend service life of a bearing operating at high velocity or high-V. Suitable for sealed bearings operating at high velocity.

Roll neck bearing requires a lubrication condition under so-called high PV range since sliding condition between a roller end surface and the flange section of an inner race is very severe.

Characteristics of Palmax RBG
1.Lubricity
Having properties of oil separation and return, the grease has performance similar to oil lubrication and is suitable for bearings with high PV.
2.High in adhesion
Its high adhesion to bearings restrains the grease from spattering and prevents failure in lubrication of bearings caused by grease loss.
3.Water resistance
Excellent shear stability in the presence of water prevents failure in lubrication of bearings caused by grease softening and leakage.
4.Rust prevention
Even in the presence of industrial water, the grease offers excellent rust-preventive property and prevents bearings from being damaged by 

Main applications and applicable components
Roll neck bearings of rolling equipment

Lubricity (Property similar to oil lubrication

PALMAX RBG has a property: When temperature rises, the grease bleeds oil and when temperature drops, the free oil returns back to the grease. Owing to this property, the grease is superior in oil film forming at high temperature (high-speed, high-load), offering good lubricity.

Test method

  • Test rig: K-80 (See the picture shown below)
  • Test bearing: Steep angle tapered roller bearing (Bore 80mm)
  • Amount of grease filled: 500g (Bearing box volume 100%)
  • Thrust loading: Gradual increase starting from 5.9kN (0.6ton)
  • Rotational speed: 1193 rpm (Fixed)
  • V: 1.0m/s (Fixed)
  • Test method: Start the test with the condition―rotational speed 1193rpm (V = 1.0m/s), load 5.9kN { 0.6ton f } ( P = 50MP { 5.1kgf/mm2 }). Then gradually raise the load every one hour to continue the testing until the rise in temperature (ΔT) exceeds 180deg.
