Bearing Grease Solutions for Your Applications
Morelic supplies custom bearing grease for automotive wheel bearings, electric motors, fans, pumps, conveyors, agricultural equipment, marine trailers and industrial maintenance kits.
What Does Bearing Grease Do Inside a Bearing?
Bearing grease is alubricating paste formulated by thickening synthetic base oils with complex soaps, fortified with extreme pressure (EP), anti-wear, anti-oxidation, and anti-corrosion additives. Engineered for high-temperature resistance and long service life, it forms a durable lubricating film between rolling and sliding surfaces. This eliminates direct metal-to-metal contact, drastically reducing internal friction and wear to maximize bearing longevity.
Build a lubricating film between rolling elements and raceways
Reduce friction, noise and heat generation
Help protect against rust, moisture and dust contamination
Stay in place under rotation, vibration and temperature changes
Support the required relubrication interval
Common Bearing Grease Problems We Help Buyers Solve
Avoid field failures, customer complaints, and packaging leaks by partnering with an experienced bearing grease manufacturer.
| Identified Problem | Root Cause | Morelic Support Solution |
|---|---|---|
|
Bearing overheating after relubrication
|
Wrong grease quantity, wrong consistency or unsuitable base oil viscosity | formula review + application test sample |
|
Grease washes out in wet environments
|
Water exposure, weak corrosion protection or unsuitable thickener | water-resistant calcium sulfonate options |
|
Electric motor bearing noise
|
Unsuitable grease for speed/noise requirement or oil separation issue | polyurea or synthetic low-noise project options |
|
Grease hardens or separates in storage
|
Poor formula stability or unsuitable storage/packaging | packaging and shelf-life review |
|
Customers mix incompatible greases
|
Unclear label, missing compatibility notes or no changeover guidance | private label instructions + technical documentation |

Typical Technical Parameters for Bearing Grease Projects
NLGI 2 is commonly used for many general bearing and wheel bearing applications, but high-speed motors, wet environments, food equipment and extreme-temperature bearings may require different formulations. *Note: Values below are typical ranges. Final specification is confirmed by TDS.
| Parameter | Common Options / Range | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| NLGI Grade | 0, 1, 2, 3 | Controls consistency, pumpability and stay-in-place behavior |
| Thickener | Lithium complex, calcium sulfonate, polyurea, PTFE, inorganic | Affects compatibility, water resistance, temperature and service life |
| Base Oil | Mineral, PAO, ester, silicone, PFPE | Affects temperature range, torque and oxidation stability |
| Base Oil Viscosity @40°C | Project-specific, e.g., ISO VG 68–460+ | Influences film thickness under speed and load |
| Dropping Point | Formula-dependent (e.g., >260°C for lithium complex) | Helps evaluate high-temperature stability |
| Worked Penetration | According to NLGI grade (e.g., 265-295 for NLGI 2) | Confirms grease consistency |
| Water Washout | Custom test target | Important for marine, outdoor and washdown environments |
| Corrosion Protection | ASTM / equivalent project test available | Important for wet and long-storage applications |
| Operating Temperature | Confirm by formula and application test | Must match bearing environment |
| Documentation | MSDS, TDS, RoHS, REACH, NSF H1 | Supports import, retail and industrial procurement |
