High Temperature Grease Tester

The High Temperature Grease Tester is an excellent tool to determine the life of lubricating greases designed for operation at elevated temperatures.

The grease under test is filled in a bearing as specified by the ASTM D3336 and mounted on a spindle. The bearing is located in the elevated temperature chamber that is used to heat the test grease to the desired tem-perature and maintain the temperature during the test.

The test applies relatively light load and runs the bearing at high speeds. This determines the ability of a grease to provide lubrication to the arrangement at elevated tem-peratures over extended periods of time.
