  • Publication number: 20090003742
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a grease composition capable of keeping a good lubrication condition for a long period of time even when water has mixed therein, thereby inhibiting white structure flaking and corrosion. Another object is to provide a vehicular hub unit bearing which hardly suffers from white structure flaking and corrosion even when used in an environment where water may penetrate into it and which therefore has a long life. The invention provides a rolling bearing with, sealed up therein, a grease composition containing a waterproof film-forming additive added thereto; a grease composition for hub unit bearings, containing a base oil that comprises at least one of mineral oil and synthetic oil as the main ingredient thereof, and a thickener and a flaking inhibitor; and a vehicular hub unit bearing with the grease composition sealed up therein.

  • Publication number: 20080219610
    Abstract: The waterproof grease composition of the present application comprises a base oil that comprises at least one of mineral oil and synthetic oil and having a kinematic viscosity of from 10 to 400 mm2/sec at 40° C., a thickener, and a waterproofness-imparting agent selected from surfactant, metal soap, fluorine-containing water repellent, silicone-type water repellent, pH-controlling agent, wax, polymer and graphite. Accordingly, it may prevent peeling such as white structure peeling even when water is mixed therein.

  • Patent number: 6482779
    Abstract: A lubricating grease composition having a basic grease composition containing a synthetic oil as a base oil, and a lithium soap as a thickener. 0.5 to 10% by weight with respect to the basic grease composition total amount of at least one additive selected from the group consisting of an organic molybdenum compound, an organic fatty acid compound or an derivative thereof, and an organic phosphorus compound is added is provided. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a lubricating grease composition capable of providing excellent lubricating characteristics, fretting wear resistance property, and impact resistance property.

  • Patent number: 5922654
    Abstract: The invention relates to lubricant compositions which contain (1) specific organometallic compounds, or (2) a specific organometallic compound and an ashless sulfur compound, or (3) an organomolybdenum compound and an ashless sulfur compound having a specific group, or (4) a specific organometallic compound and a phosphorus compound, or (5) an organonickel compound, or (6) a specific organometallic compound. The lubricant compositions of the invention not only can impart far higher load bearing properties and extreme-pressure properties than conventional ones to members to which the compositions are applied, but also show an excellent lubricating performance at high temperatures.
