Shear Stability of Grease

[ Lubrication Knowledge Menu ] [ Products and Services Directory

Shear stability: Grease consistency may change as it is mechanically worked or sheared between wearing surfaces. A grease’s ability to maintain its consistency when worked is its shear stability or mechanical stability. A grease that softens as it is worked is called thixotropic. Greases that harden when worked are called rheopectic.
