  • Patent number: 8985279
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for feeding a grease composition for grease-feeding to bearing units comprising 35 to 85 wt. % of fluorine-based grease and 65 to 15 wt. % of fluorine-based organic solvent; the method comprising jetting the grease composition into an inner portion of a bearing unit, such as a bearing for a conveyor chain having a grease-feeding hole, so as to feed the fluorine-based grease in an amount accounting for 10 to 45 volume % of the space volume in the bearing. According to the grease-feeding method, the grease composition for grease-feeding can be effectively applied to a bearing unit having a grease-feeding hole (nipple), thereby can be sufficiently supplied to a lubrication part, and allows grease-feeding without leakage from the bearing unit.

  • Patent number: 6905248
    Abstract: An electroconductive grease-filled bearing is a rolling bearing comprising an inner race 11 and an outer race 12, both of the races being coaxially provided, a plurality of steel balls 13 radially being retained between track surfaces of the races, the bearing rotatably supporting the edge of heating roll 6a in the fixing section of an electrostatic transfer copying machine, fixed to the inner periphery of inner race 11, an electroconductive grease to be filled between the track surfaces comprising a fluorocarbon oil as a base oil and graphite (or together with polytetrafluoroethylene) as a thickening agent. The electroconductive grease has a distinguished electroconductance so as to effectively discharge the static electricity, and has a distinguished heat-resistant durability even at elevated temperatures, and also prevents revolution failure due to the increased torque caused by an excessive lowering in the grease consistency, while maintaining the good electroconductance.
