An advantage of grease lubrication over oil lubrication is that the lubricant is consistent and therefore stays longer at the friction point. This is especially beneficial with lubrication points that are not sealed and where the base oil is held at the friction point by the consistency of the lubricating grease, which enables an optimal supply of the base oil to the friction point; when re-lubrication is not possible, meaning that a single lubricant fill must provide lubricity over the component’s entire lifetime.
Basically, grease lubrication is the most obvious choice when the design of an industrial application rules out the use of oil lubrication. An example of grease application is spindle bearings in machine tools, which rotate very fast and have low surface pressure. For large drives with high surface pressures and low speed, by contrast, lubrication with oils or fluids may be more appropriate.
