Greases are applied to mechanisms that can only be lubricated infrequently and where a lubricating oil would not stay in position. They also act as sealants to prevent ingress of water and in compressible materials. Grease-lubricated bearings have greater frictional characteristics due to their high viscosity.
Different types of greases are typically formulated with three grease components: base oil, thickener and additives.
- The base oil lubricates, reducing friction between moving surfaces; this is exactly the same role that the base oil plays in a lubricant oil.
- The thickener acts like a sponge; its job is to hold oil in reserve until needed to lubricate. The thickener responds to external forces such as movement, vibration or temperature as a trigger to release oil.
- The additives supplement the lubricating capability of the base oil, improving upon characteristics such as wear protection and rust prevention.
