  • Patent number: 10145417
    Abstract: A ball bearing is filled with a grease composition. The grease composition contains a synthetic oil other than a synthetic hydrocarbon oil, a synthetic hydrocarbon oil, a mineral oil, and a urea compound. The synthetic oil other than the synthetic hydrocarbon oil is contained in an amount of 10% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less when the total of the synthetic oil other than the synthetic hydrocarbon oil, the synthetic hydrocarbon oil and the mineral oil is taken as 100% by mass.

  • Publication number: 20180291300
    Abstract: A grease composition includes alkylnaphthalene as base oil and a urea compound as thickening agent. The thickening agent is an alicyclic aliphatic diurea compound contained at a ratio of 4 mass % to 10 mass % based on the total mass of the grease composition. A pivot assembly bearing device is provided with rolling bearings filled with the above grease composition. A hard disk drive device is provided with a swing arm which is swingably supported by the pivot assembly bearing device.
