Abstract
The effect of three mineral base oils on roller bearing fatigue life has been studied. Life performance tests were conducted, using a specially controlled group of 45-mm bore cylindrical roller bearings. The results indicate that base oil stock affects bearing performance. Of the highly naphthenic, naphthenic, and paraffinic mineral oils studied, bearings lubricated with the latter achieved superior lives. The use of an oxidation inhibitor in the naphthenic base oil provided an improvement in the life performance equivalent to that obtained with the paraffinic base lubricant.Keywords
