    Water Resistance Grease For Steel Mills

    Uploaded by

    NSK developed a new long-life water-resistant grease called AQGRD R1 for sealed tapered roller bearings used in rolling mills. The grease forms a thicker oil film and protective oxide layer to repel water and prevent contact between moving parts, minimizing premature flaking and rust. Testing showed the new grease more than doubled bearing life compared to the existing grease under cold rolling conditions.

    Grease for sealed type roller bearings

    What causes flaking and how can it be prevented?


    Flaking occurs when small pieces of bearing material are split off from the
    smooth surface of the raceway or rolling elements due to rolling fatigue,
    thereby causing areas with rough and coarse texture.

    Possible causes are due to poor lubrication, improper lubricant, entry of


    foreign debris and entry of water.

    Particularly for the sealed type 4-row tapered roller bearings, NSK developed
    long-life water-resistant grease (AQGRD R1) which is enhanced in base oil Working condition of
    viscosity and special water-resistant additives. bearing for work roll

    Benefits of water-resistant grease technology

    › Inhibits water entry to rolling surface

    › Minimizes premature flaking and rust

    › More than doubled life with new grease

    NEW GREASE (AQGRD R1)


    Water-resistant grease technology is:
    › The ability to repel water with a thicker › In the case where there is insufficient lubrication,
    layer of oil film and the protective oxide film the protective oxide film is still able to prevent
    water contact between the roller and the surface
