Understanding the Differences between Automotive and Industrial Greases

Posted on by

“Our plant is searching for a new type of grease. Can you explain the differences between industrial and automotive greases in composition, features, and performance requirements or in any other aspect?”

 

In short, there is really no difference between automotive and industrial greases. Grease selection will depend on the desired application and performance.

 

In regards to grease and its application, there are critical elements used in the formulation process that must be considered. These elements include the thickener type and concentration, lubricant type, viscosity and additive package. Greases are rated by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) and range from 000 through 6. An NLGI 2 grade is typically the specification used in automotive greases.

 

One of the only differences between industrial and automotive greases is that a two-letter designation is often used in the automotive industry to specify the type of grease to employ. For example, greases may be rated as GC or LB. GC is recommended for axle and wheel bearing grease, while LB is the industry standard for chassis grease used on tie-rod ends, ball joints, U-joints and control-arm shafts.

 

Regardless of the application, greases should reduce friction and wear, protect against corrosion, seal bearings from water and contaminants, and resist leakage. While one of the main reasons for grease failure is selecting the wrong type of grease for the intended application, there may also be other causes, such as incompatibility resulting in excessive softening of the grease, contamination leading to excessive wear or applying too little or too much grease for the application.

 

For instance, in off-road equipment, the environment generally is harsh with a variety of factors to take into account including water, dirt, poor seals and heavy loads. In this type of situation, grease selection is key. You will need a grease with good rust protection, film strength and water resistance.

 

Bearings normally see less contamination but often experience wide variations of speed and temperature. In this case, you should choose grease with excellent oxidation stability, exceptional mechanical stability and good performance over a wide temperature range.

 

In summary, the constituents of industrial and automotive greases may be quite similar and should be treated as such. The point is that no matter the application in which grease is used, it is critical to know how to properly select a grease while keeping in mind all of the important parameters.

Power Tool Care – Cutting Fluids

Posted on by

Cutting Oil

The Industrial Revolution brought with it many changes. One of those changes was the way that metals are worked. Instead of relying on a man’s strength to shape metal, there were now machines that were able to cut and shape the metal for you. But with the new technology came new problems, like how to cool and lubricate the cutting tool, extend its life and improve surface finish. The answer to this problem was, of course, to use cutting fluids including cutting oils.

 

What are Cutting Fluids?

Cutting Fluids serve as a combination of coolant and lubricant and were created specifically to be used for machine work and metalworking. Cutting fluids usually fall into one of the following categories: oils, pastes, gels, oil-water emulsions and mist and are made out of plant oils, animal fats or petroleum derivatives.

 

The process of cutting and working metal by machine produces a great deal of heat; metal on metal, and one of a cutting fluid’s main objectives is to keep the piece being worked on at a consistent temperature. Besides serving as coolants they also prolong the life of the cutting tool by reducing friction and help to reduce any safety risks to the person handling the machine and material and reducing rust on the machine parts.

 

The History of Cutting Fluids

When cutting fluids first started being used water was the most logical choice, for with the heat and friction caused by metalworking the first instinct was to cool it off with water. It was quickly found, however, that water made the metal machine parts rust fairly quickly. Soda water was the next step, and helped with the rust problem though it didn’t do much for lubrication. When someone actually figured that putting grease on the machine parts would help, lard became the lubricant of choice. There are references as well to red and white lead being mixed into lard oil to make it more malleable, but that practice was discontinued due to the discovered toxicity of lead.

 

Today cutting oils fall into four basic categories:

 

  1. Straight oils, which are used for machines that run at a slower speed and need more lubrication than cooling.

 

  1. Soluble oils, which have additives that allow them to be mixed with water. These not only provide lubrication but some cooling.

 

  1. Semi-synthetic oils, which are similar to soluble oils but contain less petroleum, making them cleaner and more effective as coolants

 

  1. Synthetic oils, which contain no petroleum based oils and are the best for performance, cooling and rust prevention.

 

Application and Safety

All four of these categories are applied in any number of ways, including dripping; spraying, misting, brushing, whatever suits the purpose at hand, though direct contact with any cutting oil should be avoided due to the fact that many have been linked to skin rashes, esophagitis, lung disease and even cancer.

Window Regulators and Motors

Posted on by

Opening and closing your car’s windows can be a tiresome task. Good thing window regulators and motors were invented to make the job a whole lot easier. Composed of parts like the worm gear and a combination of spur gears, a mechanical plate, and a linkage, window regulators and motors give much convenience as you need not exert much effort into opening and closing your car windows. The linkage supports the window, while the one with the actual responsibility for moving the window up and down is the mechanical plate. The worm gears combination controls the correct movement of the mechanical plate.

Most window regulator and window motor mechanisms have two kinds: the manual window regulator and the power window regulator. One obvious difference between the manual and the power system is the latter’s drive motor and electronics. In manual type of windows, the passenger himself turns the gear with the use of crank handle. Just like in the early days of the automotive industry, when pick up trucks are built with a manual window regulator and it takes much hassle as truck drivers and passengers have to exert much effort before they can move their truck windows up and down. Fortunately, car owners and passenger of today need not suffer the same fate as the problem has been solved with the creation of power window regulators and window motors. Now, you can make your window go up and down at one touch of a button.

Window regulator and motor not only serve their function of opening and closing windows. They can enhance a car’s looks as well, as most window regulators come in several styles. These include the scissors style, a favorite during the first few years of the automotive industry and up to the 80’s, and the bowden cable style, which is often used in pick up trucks. So you need not compromise style and looks when installing window regulators and motors, as these parts are style-enhancers as well.

Installing window regulators and motors is never a hassle as you can accomplish the job in less than an hour. In most cases, all you have to do is remove the door panel, disconnect some wiring, remove a few bolts, and the old unit pops right out. Then, you need to attach your new window motor, reconnect the wiring, secure everything with the bolts, and you are done.

Just remember to choose the finest window regulators of best quality for longer use and durability. Mediocre window regulators and motors can just give up in the worst situations, and you can get stuck with a car window that won’t open or won’t close. Car window regulators and window motors can also freeze up or get clogged with gunk, making them virtually useless. Repair in an auto dealership can cost a fortune and cause a great dent to your savings. So make sure to inspect well and choose only the top window regulators and motors in the market, for your own convenience and riding bliss.
