What is the Difference Between Lubricating Oil and Grease?
1 Answers
1. Adhesion Differences: When the friction part is in a static state, grease can maintain its original shape without automatically losing due to gravity, nor will it slide off vertical surfaces or drip through gaps. This characteristic is particularly suitable for friction parts that operate intermittently or infrequently, areas where it is difficult to replenish grease, and open or poorly sealed parts. 2. Temperature Range Differences: The operating temperature range of grease is wider than that of lubricating oil. 3. Pressure Resistance Differences: Grease has a much stronger adsorption capacity on metal surfaces compared to lubricating oil and can form a relatively strong oil film to withstand higher working loads. This is due to the large amount of polar substances contained in grease.
