  • Patent number: 10041540
    Abstract: A grease composition which is excellent in seizure resistance can be provided without deteriorating resistance to stirring in the rolling device, and a rolling device in which the grease composition intervenes to a predetermined portion can be also provided by use of a grease composition comprising a base oil and a thickener, the thickener being a diurea compound obtained by allowing an amine mixture comprising alkylphenylamine, an alkyl group of which has 8 to 16 carbon atoms, and cyclohexylamine, to react with a diisocyanate compound, the amount of cyclohexylamine in the amine mixture being 80% by mole or more and less than 91% by mole, and a worked penetration being 300 to 330.

  • Patent number: 8741823
    Abstract: There is provided a grease composition, in which a grease film on the surface of the applied part is made thicker compared with conventional grease compositions, this thickness is maintained for a long period of time, and as a result, a longer service life against seizure compared with conventional grease compositions is assured. The grease composition comprises a base oil and a thickener, wherein the thickener is a diurea compound obtained by allowing an amine mixture comprising alkylphenylamine, an alkyl group of which has 8 to 16 carbon atoms, and cyclohexylamine, to react with a diisocyanate compound, and an amount of cyclohexylamine in the total amount of the alkylphenylamine and cyclohexylamine is from 91 to 99% by mole.

  • Patent number: 8044005
    Abstract: A rolling bearing, for use in household appliances, having a high degree of quietness, an excellent durability at high temperatures and rotational speeds, a low torque, and excellent fretting property; and a lubricant composition which can be sealed into the rolling bearing. The lubricant composition includes a base oil and a thickening agent. The base oil is a mixed oil having the following characteristics of (a) to (c): (a) The base oil consists essentially of a synthetic hydrocarbon oil and an ester oil; (b) A kinematic viscosity of the mixed oil at 40° C. is 40 to 70 mm2/second; (c) A mixing weight ratio between the ester oil of the mixed oil and the synthetic hydrocarbon oil thereof is 30:70 to 70:30. The thickening agent comprises a diurea compound shown by a formula (1): where R1 and R3 are a straight-chain alkyl groups having 9 to 22 carbon atoms respectively, and R2 is an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms. The lubricant composition is sealed into the rolling bearing.
