  • Patent number: 11746303
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a grease composition which can impart excellent durability to a bearing used under a high-speed rotation condition with a DN value of 100,000 or more, wherein the grease composition contains a base oil (A) and a urea-based thickener (B), and particles containing the urea-based thickener (B) in the grease composition satisfy requirement (I) that the particles have an arithmetic mean particle diameter of 2.0 ?m or less on an area basis when measured by a laser diffraction scattering method. The grease composition is used for a bearing used under a high-speed rotation condition with a DN value of 100,000 or more.

  • Patent number: 10760030
    Abstract: A grease of the invention contains a fluorine synthetic oil as a base oil and an inorganic acid salt that is at least one selected from phosphate, tungstate, sulfate and sulfite. The grease of the invention is suitably usable in a bearing, a gear and the like because of an excellent wear resistance and a low environmental burden.

  • Patent number: 10240103
    Abstract: A bearing grease composition contains a (A) thickener and a (B) base oil, in which the (A) thickener is a urea thickener represented by a formula (I) below, and, in observation of a transmission image in the bearing grease composition, a transmission-image-area ratio of an aggregation part having a transmission image area exceeding 40 ?m2 in the urea thickener is 15% or less relative to a total observation area. R1NHCONHR2NHCONHR3??(I) In the formula, R1 and R3 each independently represent: an (a1) monovalent chain hydrocarbon group having 6 to 22 carbon atoms; an (a2) monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms; and the like, and R2 represents an (a4) divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 10150929
    Abstract: A urea grease of the invention is prepared by applying shear at a shear rate of 102 s?1 or more to a mixture solution of an amine mixture containing an alicyclic monoamine and a chain aliphatic monoamine, and a diisocyanate compound to cause a reaction in the mixture, in which the urea grease has Peak High32-64s of 1.5 or less and Level High32-64s of 10 or less according to an FAG method.
