I don't think that an EP additive film would be thick or deep enough to influence clearances, or the temperatures would be hot enough to really activate it. I'm wondering if there could be some sort of compatability problems between what the manufacturer used and your EP lubricant(did they do a...
I had the same question about three years ago, but it was how does a seal cut into and wear a shaft. The closest answer I could find that made any sense was that the softer material (seal or cotton in your case) would wear away the surface by removing the oxides from the surface, and could...
One of the guy's I work with races pine car derby at his church with his kid's,he's been using silicone and it work's very well.I've been meaning to do a search for him as to whether or not it's a dry lubricant,It seem's to be after the carrier evaperates.
I'm trying to obtain the paper "The Influence of Grease Thickener on Apparent Viscosity of Lubricating Greases by Paul A.Bessetti" I tried Nye where he was or is the Technical Director with no luck,any help would be appreciated
I would think it would have to do more with thickener type(reversability considerations) or the amount of thickener,I think that would have a lot to do with bleed resistance.The whole trouble is it's supposed to separate under shear to lubricate the bearing
