Big fan of what you’re doing here and think a podcast would be a hit. Though I’m sure you have many in the pipeline, here’s some ideas for future videos: 1. “Visualizing grease in service” - you bring this up in the discussion and there doesn’t seem to be many visual aids on this. Could touch on: what does “full” mean for a bearing, “channeling”, and why it can take time for pressure to build before purging occurs through the relief 2. “Why are grease quantities measured by weight?” I’ve never really heard a good answer for this, but it always takes conversions to make these values practical in the field 3. “Grease Water Resistance Explained” - could touch on the differences between water “washout” and how different thickeners interact with water in service. You’re filling an important void in the industry - keep it up!
Thanks for supporting and those are all great ideas! Rich could probably address all those pretty readily although I’m trying to get a couple of people with grease formulation experience to come on too.
Hello, my friend! Thanks for sharing videos like this. It was a good video with a lot information. I really liked this video and I'll try to watch all video of your channel, By the way, I'm subscribed. Thanks again! #brazil
Ferrous particles that build up over time from wear can create issues if allowed to accumulate to high levels, and purging with fresh grease can help extend bearing life. That “excessive” point can vary with the application, but can be measured and criteria developed using ASTM D7918
Matching the grease to the application is critical, and that includes the consistency, base oil viscosity, and additives. If there is already grease present and you are adding to it, compatibility between greases is necessary. Start with the OEM requirements, and consider formulations that meet these speed and temperature inputs, along with enhanced options that include synthetic formulations for both base oil and thickener.
what's your thoughts on all these commercial mowers going greaseless S sealed spindles it saves time and grease but to me I like to grease my equipment
For intermittently operated machines, effectively sealed bearings might makes sense to help seal out moisture and dirt if they are effective and the grease has a high shear stability. If not, being able to Re-grease helps to purge contaminants.

Good to see Rich in your channel
Thanks Khashayar! It was awesome to have him on. Want to come on and talk varnish?
great podcast.please continue

great information from Gentleman Mr Richard ..
Hope you got something out of it!
good job gentlemen.
Thanks!
Very interesting, keep it up.

Thanks for what you're doing, regarding the ferrous as contaminant in the grease . in this case do i have to purge out the grease ??
Ferrous particles that build up over time from wear can create issues if allowed to accumulate to high levels, and purging with fresh grease can help extend bearing life. That “excessive” point can vary with the application, but can be measured and criteria developed using ASTM D7918
Is there any accepance criteria for parameters we measure in grease analysis.
I'm looking for the best grease for bearings and commercial spindles what is best

Super interesting
Glad you think so!
plesase explain whats the difference in penetration cups in grease working
Do you mean the full cone penetration test versus the half- and quarter-scale tests?
