The present invention relates to a Zinc free High Performance bearing oil composition for Lubrication of Bearings, Gears & Allied Equipments in Wire Rod Mill (WRM) for Steel Plants.

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to magnetic recording systems having a spindle motor and, more particularly, to an optimized lubricant for bearings within the spindle motor. A lubricant used in a fluid dynamic bearing motor has an antioxidant additive and a charge control agent dissolved in a diester base oil. The charge control agent is chemically attached to the same diacid reactant used in the diester lubricant base oil, and is prepared through an esterification reaction. The charge control agent is then dissolved in the lubricant base oil. The charge control agent is soluble in the lubricant, and is resistant to free radical oxidation. The charge control agent effectively controls the charge of the lubricant by creating electron donor/acceptor sites in the lubricant, facilitating an independent electronic pathway through the lubricant.

One aspect of the disclosure relates to a sliding member. The sliding member includes: a first sliding portion having a first lubricant placed between first parts of a first friction sliding mechanism; and a second sliding portion having a second lubricant placed between second parts of a second friction sliding mechanism. The first sliding portion has a lubricant feed port from which the first lubricant is fed, and the second sliding portion has no lubricant feed port from which the second lubricant is fed. The first lubricant contains base oil and an additive. The second lubricant contains base oil and an additive containing conductive carbon. The second lubricant contains a relatively larger amount of conductive carbon than the first lubricant.

Disclosed is a monitoring method for monitoring the film thickness of a lubricant within a lubricated bearing, the bearing having an inner ring, an outer ring and rolling elements being arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring/ The monitoring method comprises a capacitance measuring step for measuring the total capacitance of the bearing; a first calculation step for determining a film thickness of the lubricant based on the measured capacitance of the bearing and for determining whether the lubrication condition is fully flooded or starved, and when the lubrication condition is fully flooded, a second calculation step for correcting the film thickness determined in the first calculation step.

A deep groove ball bearing providing an inner ring, an outer ring and a plurality of balls being arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring and the outer ring each include a raceway for the plurality of balls. Each raceway encompasses the plurality of balls symmetrically. The deep groove ball bearing is lubricated by a lubricant being arranged on each axial side of the plurality of balls. The raceways are offset in the same axial direction from the axial center of the inner ring and the outer ring such that the raceways are offset to the axial side of the deep groove ball bearing where the shear rate acting on the lubricant is higher than on the other axial side of the deep groove ball bearing.

Provided is a lubricant composition having small shear rate dependence of its apparent viscosity. The lubricant composition includes a perfluoropolyether as a base oil, and fluorine resin particles as a thickener. The lubricant composition further includes a fluorine-containing polymer having a tetrafluoroethylene structure under a state in which the polymer is dissolved in the perfluoropolyether.

A lubricant that enables to improve control stability of an automobile or the like having a vehicle body charged by driving. A lubricant for improving control stability of an automobile includes a base oil and an additive containing a carbon black. A kit for improving control stability of an automobile includes a discharging member including a protrusion that performs a self-discharging by air-ionizing and the lubricant. A method also improves control stability of an automobile.

A method of lubricating a bearing, a bearing, and a lubricant with high thermal conductivity including a base oil, a polymeric thickener, and thermally conductive powder particles. The lubricant is, at atmospheric pressure, liquid above a transition temperature and a gel below said transition temperature.

A method for diagnosing a rolling device (10) including an outer member (1), an inner member (3), and rolling elements (5) includes: applying an AC voltage to an electric circuit including the outer member (1), the rolling elements (5), and the inner member (3); measuring an impedance and a phase angle of the electric circuit when the AC voltage is applied; and measuring a dielectric constant of a lubricant at least one of between the outer member (1) and the rolling elements (5) and between the inner member (3) and the rolling elements (5) based on the measured impedance and the measured phase angle.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rolling bearing which makes use of a porous rolling element and a selected kind of lubricant to impregnate with; is usable in various conditions; does not discharge foreign objects; and features low dust generation and long life. A rolling bearing includes an outer ring 2; an inner ring 1; and a plurality of rolling elements 3 assembled between mutually opposed outer ring track surface 2a and inner ring track surface 1a. The plurality of rolling elements 3 is provided by a combination of a porous rolling element 3a impregnated with a lubricant and a non-porous rolling element 3b.
