We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Grease Lubrication",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release A bearing on green design from
NSK UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rolling bearings provide the key to energy conservation and preservation of natural resources through improved machine life, says Kevin Delehanty".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Linear motion system offers corrosion resistance from
HepcoMotion: "HepcoMotion's SL2 stainless steel is designed to be maintenance-free and is suitable for use in arduous conditions".
In July 2007, we covered the news from NSK UK
concerning its TYN cage and TB cage
- take a look at Precision bearings improve machine tool quality
which says: "The TYN cage offers silent operation and 20% lower temperature generation in angular contact bearings used in machining centres and grinding spindle applications".
Take a look also at the news release from DavyMarkham, Drum hoist contract awarded,
as well as Bearings protect mine against downtime from Revolvo,
and Grease lubricants tackle heavy duties from Lyon Development Corp.
