Grease Calculator | Arpedon

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.

    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.
