A grease composition is intended primarily for use in constant velocity joins (CV joints), especially ball joints and/or tripod joints, which are used in the drivelines of motor vehicles. The grease composition for use in constant velocity joints comprises at least one base oil, and least one thickener, at least one copper sulfide in an amount of approximately 0.01 wt-% up to approximately 1.5 wt-% of the grease composition, molybdenum disulfide and/or at least one phosphor-free organic molybdenum complex in an amount of approximately 0.1 wt-% up to approximately 5.0 wt-% of the grease composition. Further, a constant velocity joint comprises the grease composition.

A silicone grease composition having high friction characteristics and wear characteristics is disclosed. The silicone grease composition is provided by adding a zinc salt (B) containing, at a mass ratio from 1:99 to 99:1, a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (B1) and a zinc dialkyldithiocarbamate (B2) as an extreme-pressure additive to a silicone oil (A). A method for transmitting torque of a clutch or a torque limiter mechanism is also disclosed.

A hybrid grease is provided having low coefficients of friction and high wear protection which is employable over a wide temperature range. The hybrid grease includes a combination of a grease based on a silicone oil in conjunction with a grease based on synthetic hydrocarbon oils, mineral oils or polyglycols. The hybrid grease may especially be used to lubricate joints in vehicle parts based on plastic-steel pairings.
