How Shear Rates Affect Oil Viscosity
|
|
|
From "Grease Lubrication in Rolling Bearings":
Shear thinning at a shear rate not only applies to lubricating grease. The base oil viscosity may also be reduced. This may happen under extreme conditions, such as in the case of high pressure, where the viscosity is very high. These conditions occur in the EHL contacts of rolling bearings.
