Factors to consider when selecting lubricants include:

Firstly, it is essential to clearly define the purpose of using grease based on its primary function, and choose the appropriate grease accordingly. Grease can generally be divided into three major categories: friction reduction, protection, and sealing. When selecting grease, consider the primary role it needs to play in the application area.

2. The working temperature of the lubricated areas is a crucial factor in selecting lubricating grease. The temperature and its variations of mechanical friction areas have a decisive impact on the lubricating effect and service life of the grease.

3. Consider the load on the lubricant lubrication area

4. Similar viscosity changes with shear rate. Therefore, the speed at which the lubricating grease is applied to the lubricated parts is considered, as grease belongs to a rheological system. The physical state and lubricating effect of the grease are particularly sensitive to the operating speed of the lubricating components, which differs from that of lubricating oils.

Therefore, the environment of the lubrication area and the medium it comes into contact with greatly affect the performance of the lubricating grease. Careful consideration should be given when selecting the lubricating grease.

6. Considering the Lubricant Filling Method: The lubricant filling methods include manual filling and pump centralized filling. Methods such as spreading, filling, grease gun filling, and grease cup filling all fall under manual filling.

When selecting lubricants, it's important to consider the overall benefits. There are various lubricants that meet the mechanical usage requirements. It's not just about the price; one must also look at factors such as extended lubrication cycles and reduced maintenance costs. Only lubricants that offer exceptional overall benefits are suitable.
