Abstract:
The apparatus comprises a first pair of photosensors (50E, 80W) arranged at symmetrically opposed positions on a first horizontal axis (16) rotatable around a third vertical axis (14), and a second pair of photosensors (50N, 50S) arranged at symmetrically opposed positions on a second axis (18) perpendicular to and rotatable around the first axis. To the first and third axes are connected driving means which operate when there are differences in outputs between the first pair of photosensors and between the second pair of photosensors, respectively.
Abstract:
In accordance with the instant invention, a water-based hydraulic fluid, having- improved viscosity can be obtained by blending a carboxylic acid with a thickened hydraulic fluid compositiop employing a thickener obtained by modifying a conventional polyether polyol thickening agent with an alpha-olefin epoxide or glycidyl ether having about 10 to 22 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof. Small amounts of higher molecular weight glycols may also be incorporated into the chain.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein pastenartiges Dämpfmedium, das zur Dämpfung von mechanischen und/oder akustischen Schwingungen geeignet ist. Das pastenartige Dämpfmedium enthält als Mindestbestandteile einen feinverteilten Feststoff bzw. ein feinverteiltes Feststoffgemisch und als Flüssigphase ein Silikonöl, Polyglykol und/oder einen gesättigten, aliphatischen oder aromatischen Carbonsäureester. Bei Verwendung von Polyglykol oder eines Carbonsäureesters als Flüssigphase ist es von Vorteil, ein Mittel zur Erhöhung der Grenzflächenaktivität (Netzmittel) und feinverteilte Magnesiumsilikate, Aluminiumsilikate und/oder feinverteiltes Siliziumdioxid als Viskositätsstabilisatoren und gegebenenfalls geringe Zusätze eines Antioxidationsmittels als Mischungsbestandteil zu verwenden. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der pastenartigen Dämpfmedien und die Verwendung der pastenartigen Dämpfmediun in den verschiedenartigsten hydraulisch wirkenden Stoß-und Schwingungsdämpfern.

Also disclosed is a method for operating an internal combustion engine comprising said lubricating composition and a method for preparing a molybdenum containing friction modifier.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an overbased calcium sulfonate grease comprising a reduced amount of overbased calcium sulfonate, water and at least one non-aqueous converting agent, where at least a portion of the non-aqueous converting agent is added after one or more delay periods relative to the addition of the water. A delay period may involve the period of time it takes to adjust the temperature of the mixture, a period of time during which the mixture is held at a temperature or within a range of temperatures, and multiples and any combination thereof. These calcium sulfonate greases have improved thickener yield and high dropping points compared to greases of substantially similar composition made without a delay between the additions of water and a non-aqueous converting agent, particularly when a poor quality overbased calcium sulfonate is used.
Abstract:
An overbased calcium sulfonate grease composition comprising a reduced amount of overbased calcium sulfonate, added calcium carbonate, base oil, one or more converting agents, and one or more complexing acids if a complex grease is desired. The calcium sulfonate grease composition improves thickener yield and expected high temperature utility as demonstrated by dropping point. The calcium carbonate may be used to react with complexing acids when making a complex grease, such that the addition of calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide is not required. A method of making the composition comprising the steps of mixing the overbased calcium sulfonate and base oil, adding the calcium carbonate, adding one or more converting agents, and adding one or more complexing acids. All or a portion of one or more of the complexing acids may be added with or prior to the one or more converting agents.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for preparing a molybdated succinimide complex, the process comprising: (a) reacting an alkyl or alkenyl mono- or bis-succinimide of a polyamine of formula I or formula II or mixtures thereof: wherein R is an alkyl or alkenyl group having a number average molecular weight of about 500 to about 5,000, R′ is a straight or branched-chain alkylene group having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, x is 2 to 11, and y is 1 to 10, with an α,β-unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester, in a charge mole ratio of the α,β-unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid ester to the succinimide of formula I or formula II or mixtures thereof of greater than 1.05:1 to about 6:1, and wherein the reaction temperature is in the range of from greater than 80° C. to no greater than about 150° C.; and (b) reacting the succinimide product of step (a) with an acidic molybdenum compound to provide the molybdated succinimide complex, wherein the molybdated succinimide complex is a liquid at room temperature.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition capable of preventing a rolling surface of a bearing from flaking owing to hydrogen embrittlement. The bearing is lubricated with the lubricant composition which is a lubricating oil or grease. The lubricant composition contains a molybdate and an organic acid salt. At least one molybdate is selected from sodium molybdate, potassium molybdate, and lithium molybdate. The organic acid salt is a sodium salt of an organic acid having one to 20 carbon atoms. The lubricant composition forms a film containing a molybdenum compound in addition to an iron oxide film on a worn surface of the bearing or on a fresh surface of an iron-based metal generated by wear. The bearing is used as a rolling bearing for use in electric parts and auxiliary machines of a vehicle. The bearing is also used as a bearing, for a motor, in which the lubricant composition is sealed.
