Abstract:
The present invention provides a grease composition (7) which has a low friction and a low viscosity and is durable at a high temperature and a grease-sealed bearing (1) in which the grease composition is enclosed. The grease composition contains base oil, a thickener, and an additive. The base oil contains an ionic liquid consisting of a cation component and an anion component. The additive contains a corrosion inhibitor such as nitrites, molybdates or dibasic acid salts. The thickener is fluorine resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene. The grease composition (7) is applied to a periphery of each rolling element (4) of the grease-sealed bearing (1).

Abstract:
The present invention provides lubricating grease which is excellent in durability at a high temperature, restrains a reaction from occurring between fluorine and steel, and has a long life; and a rolling bearing in which the lubricating grease is enclosed. The lubricating grease contains perfluoropolyether oil as a base oil thereof and fluorocarbon resin powder as a thickener thereof. The lubricating grease further contains an additive containing a substance capable of forming a film on a metal surface. The substance is a diurea compound having an —NH— bond in a molecular structure thereof, an organic-acid metal salt such as sodium sebacate, molybdate such as potassium molybdate or sodium molybdate, or a bismuth-containing compound such as bismuth sulfate. The rolling bearing has an inner ring and an outer ring disposed concentrically with each other, a plurality of rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a retainer dividedly holding the rolling elements. The lubricating grease is enclosed on the periphery of the rolling elements.
Abstract:
Lubricant compositions contain a blend of a lubricating oil and a colloidal dispersion of particles of at least one iron compound and an amphiphilic agent; such compositions are useful for operating an engine, more particularly a diesel engine, which is equipped with an exhaust system fitted with a particle filter, wherein the particles present in the exhaust gases are trapped on the filter and, periodically, the trapped particles are burned, and further wherein the subject compositions are employed as engine lubricants with a view to catalyzing the combustion of the trapped particles.
