  • Patent number: 8703678
    Abstract: A grease which comprises a base oil containing at least 50% by mass of a diester compound having a total carbon number of 28 to 40 and represented by the general formula (I): R1OOC—(R2)n—COOR3??(I) wherein R1 and R3 each independently represent a C4 to C20 monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group, R2 represents a C1 to C20 divalent hydrocarbon group and n is 0 or 1. The grease is excellent in both low-temperature performance and high-temperature performance and has low oil separation tendency even under high centrifugal force (acceleration). In particular, when the grease is used in a rotational transmission device having a built-in one-way clutch, the grease can provide satisfactory clutch engagement property (intermeshing ability) at low temperatures and a prolonged bearing life at high temperatures and is less apt to cause oil separation under high centrifugal force.
