Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a grease, in particular to a high-performance composite barium-based grease suitable for RV reducers and precision bearings used therein and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, industrial robot technology has developed rapidly. As the main component of industrial robots, the performance, precision and reliability of RV (Rotary-Vector) reducers and precision bearings used therein have attracted more and more attention. At the same time, with the gradually harsh conditions for the use of modern precision bearings, new challenges have been put forward for the research and development of high-performance greases, mainly in the aspects of high and low temperature performance, water resistance, extreme pressure and wear resistance, oxidation stability, and colloid stability.
[0003] Barium-based grease has excellent shear resistance, extreme pressure resistance and protection performance, and is not soluble in gasoline and alcohol, so it is a good lubricant and protective sealing material. However, the dropping point of barium-based grease is not high, so its application range is very limited. Composite barium-based grease is prepared by reacting two or more acids with barium hydroxide to form a composite barium soap thickened base oil. Compared with barium-based grease, the dropping point is improved, and the chemical thermal stability is higher. In addition, the composite barium-based grease also has long service life, water resistance, extreme pressure resistance, wear resistance and other characteristics, and is widely used in precision machinery, textile printing and dyeing, ships and other fields, and has broad development prospects.
[0004] At present, although there are some methods for preparing composite barium-based grease, there is no high-performance composite barium-based grease suitable for RV reducers and precision bearings used therein. CN 102703179A introduces a kind of grease for high-speed full-steel angular contact bearing and its preparation method. The composite barium-based grease is used as the basis, and the heat conducting agent, i.e. nano particles, is added, so that it has higher speed coefficient and better heat conducting performance. CN 113150858 A uses 12-hydroxy stearic acid, small molecule organic acid, mineral base oil, synthetic base oil, barium hydroxide as raw materials, and adds tungsten disulfide powder, and finally obtains composite barium-based grease. Although the composite barium-based grease involved in the above patents improves the wear resistance and heat conductivity to some extent, in order to meet the special working condition requirements of RV reducers and precision bearings used therein, the oxidation stability, anti-friction and wear resistance, and low temperature performance of the composite barium-based grease still have room for further optimization, so it is necessary to study a high-performance composite barium-based grease suitable for RV reducers and precision bearings used therein.

2. The barium complex grease according to claim 1, characterized in that Based on the weight of the barium complex grease, the barium complex grease includes the following components: 80-86% base oil, 7-10% barium complex thickener, 0.6-3% antioxidant, 1-7% extreme pressure anti-wear agent, and 0.1-2% rust inhibitor.
3. The barium complex grease according to claim 2, characterized in that: The weight ratio of naphthenic mineral oil, alkyl naphthalene and polyalphaolefin synthetic oil in the base oil is 18:31:
19.
4. The barium complex grease according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that: The kinematic viscosity of the base oil at 100°C is 5-60 mm 2 / s.
5. The barium complex grease according to claim 4, characterized in that The content of the antioxidant is 1-2% based on the weight of the complex barium-based grease; The content of the extreme pressure anti-wear agent is 3-6% based on the weight of the complex barium-based grease; Based on the weight of the complex barium-based grease, the content of the rust inhibitor is 0.1-0.9%.
6. The method for preparing the complex barium-based grease according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: mixing lauric acid and terephthalic acid, or stearic acid and malic acid, with an appropriate amount of base oil, heating the mixture to 75-90°C, stirring the mixture thoroughly, adding barium hydroxide, heating the mixture to 90-120°C, and performing a saponification reaction; after the reaction is complete, heating the mixture to 180-220°C for refining, and maintaining the temperature for 7-12 minutes; adding an appropriate amount of base oil, rapidly cooling the mixture to 140-170°C, and adding the remaining base oil and an antioxidant; further cooling the mixture to below 110°C, adding an extreme pressure anti-wear agent and a rust inhibitor, and performing stirring and post-processing to obtain a finished product.
