Effect of Base Oil Type in Grease Composition on the Lubricating Film Formation in EHD Contacts

The service life of rolling bearings is significantly affected by the film formation in elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts, which depends on the operating conditions, like rotational speed or temperature. In grease lubricated EHD contacts, the film formation is determined by the grease consistency an...
