Grease quantity and interval calculator
How much grease a rolling bearing needs at each relubrication and how often, from its size, speed and operating conditions. Use it as a starting point for a lubrication schedule.
Quantity
Interval
- Correction factor K
- Interval at K = 1
- Speed factor n·d
Keep in mind
These are rule-of-thumb values for rolling bearings and do not see the actual condition of the bearing. To set quantities and intervals from what is actually happening, use condition-based tools such as ultrasound-guided greasing and grease analysis.
