Abstract
The invention provides a lubricant composition capable of favorably preventing the members from causing hydrogen embrittlement-induced flaking when the members are operated under the conditions where the oil film is thin (namely, the metal surfaces considerably come in contact with each other). The lubricant composition used for lubricating the steel mechanical members operated by a rolling motion or rolling-sliding motion is characterized by containing a base oil and additives, the additives including an organic sulfonate rust inhibitor and a load carrying additive.
Claims7
A lubricant composition for use in a rolling element bearing, comprising a base oil and additives, wherein the additives include an organic sulfonate rust inhibitor and a load carrying additive,
- wherein the base oil consists of a synthetic oil selected from the group consisting of ester based synthetic oils, poly-alpha-olefin and ether based synthetic oils,
- the organic sulfonate rust inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of a salt of dinonyl naphthalene sulfonic acid with Na, Ba, Li, Zn, Pb or Mg,
- the load carrying additive is ZnDTP,
- wherein the total mass of the base oil is at least 80% by mass of the lubricant composition,
- the content of the organic sulfonate is 0.1 to 10 mass % in the lubricant composition, and
- the content of the load carrying additive is 0.1 to 10 mass % in the lubricant composition.
A lubricant composition for use in a rolling element bearing, comprising a base oil, an urea-based thickener and additives, wherein the additives include an organic sulfonate rust inhibitor and a load carrying additive,
- wherein the base oil consists of a synthetic oil selected from the group consisting of ester based synthetic oils, poly-alpha-olefin and ether based synthetic oils,
- the organic sulfonate rust inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of a salt of dinonyl naphthalene sulfonic acid with Na, Ba, Li, Zn, Pb or Mg,
- the load carrying additive is ZnDTP,
- the total mass of the base oil is at least 55% by mass of the lubricant composition,
- the content of the urea-based thickener is 5 to 25% by mass of the lubricant composition,
- the content of the organic sulfonate is 0.1 to 10 mass % in the lubricant composition,
- the content of the load carrying additive is 0.1 to 10 mass % in the lubricant composition.
