Introduction
This European Standard standardizes a test method and acceptance criteria for the demand in EN 12081 for
testing the ability to lubricate axlebox lubricating greases. It addresses the issue of lubricating ability of
lubricating greases operating under severe conditions.
All lubricants have three main functions – to form a lubricating film that separates rolling elements and
raceways, to protect the bearing from corrosion and give good longevity. For lubricating greases in axleboxes
there is also the demand that the product must keep the lubricating ability, sometimes without relubrication,
during very long periods of time under arduous operating and environmental conditions.
The testing procedure in this European Standard is severe and is used to discriminate between lubricating
greases of different lubricating ability.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a testing method and sets the acceptance criteria for the determining of the
lubrication ability of lubricating greases intended for the lubrication of axle box bearings. The testing method is
referred to in EN 12081. The lubricating ability, primarily related to the capability of lubricating greases to
protect against wear, is determined in a roller bearing lubricant test rig. Wear of the rolling bearing rollers, the
frictional behaviour and temperature during the test are used to discriminate between lubricating greases.
The method is carried out in order to test axlebox greases for ordinary-speed vehicles, with speeds up to
200 km/h, and for greases intended for high-speed vehicles, with speeds up to 300 km/h. The method is a
discriminating process, and accepted lubricating greases will be subject to more extensive performance tests
according to EN 12082.
For purpose of quality assurance and quality control, this test method is also used for batch testing of
lubricating greases.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For
dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the document
(including any amendments) applies.
ISO 3170, Petroleum liquids — Manual sampling
EN ISO 4259:1995, Petroleum products — Determination and application of precision data in relation to
methods of test
ISO 5725-2:1994, Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results — Part 2: Basic
method for the determination of repeatability and reproducibility of a standard measurement method
ISO 5725-6:1994, Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results — Part 6: Use in
practice of accuracy values
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following definitions apply.
3.1
lubricating grease
semi-solid product consisting of a mixture of liquid lubricant and thickened with soaps or other thickeners, and
may also contain other ingredients, imparting special properties (additives)
3.2
grease lubricating ability
lubricating ability of the grease during the stressing duration of the test, see 3.3, determined as the mean
rolling elements wear rate from tests with four tapered roller bearings.
NOTE In the FE8 test, the lubricating ability of grease is determined by wear and not by the service life of the grease.
3.3
stressing duration
period of time, t, during which the lubricating grease sample is stressed dynamically and thermally until the
test is terminated by the first failure of the test bearings or by the end of the testing period, see 3.4
5

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
prEN 14865-1:2006 (E)
3.4
testing period
time required for testing, t , until failure occurs of one of the test bearings or 500 hours if a test run without
p
interruption
NOTE For approval, the required time for a test is always 500 hours (plus an initial operation during 24 hours at
750 r/min in the 1 500 r/min test). If a bearing will fail earlier, the test is failed.
3.5
frictional moment
torque acting as a mechanical resistance to rotation, resulting from bearing friction
3.6
frictional moment of the test bearing arrangement
torque, M, required for driving the two test bearings, see Figure 1, obtained by measuring the force for
r
retaining the bearing housing when the shaft is rotating
3.7
frictional moment of the test bearing arrangement at start
torque, M , of the test bearing arrangement immediately after starting the test
rs
3.8
run-in period
period of time, E , from the start of the test until the steady-state is reached
p
NOTE 1 During the run-in period, the grease is distributed and the run-in wear occurs. Due to the smoothing of the
contacting areas, the ratio of the lubricant film thickness to the sum of the roughness of the contact areas increases,
thereby increasing the separating effect of the lubricant film. Depending on the smoothing of the contacting surfaces, the
frictional moment is continuously reduced during the run-in process.
NOTE 2 For the test run at 1 500 r/min, there is a special run-in period of 24 hours before the real test starts. This run-
in is carried out with the lower speed 750 r/min and with the axial load Fa = 10 kN.
3.9
Frictional moment of the test bearing arrangement at steady-state
torque, M is obtained after the run-in period and is reached when the frictional moment stabilizes at a fairly
rb
constant value (variation can be 20 %)
3.10
steady-state temperature
temperature, θ , obtained at the end of the run-in period
B
3.11
test temperature
temperature, θ , measured at the outer ring of the spring-side test bearing
NOTE Owing to better heat dissipation, the bearing at the drive side may be 2 to 5 °C cooler.
3.12
rolling element wear
wear loss in weight, m , during the stressing period due to wear caused by rolling and sliding movements in
w
the rolling element raceway contacts and rolling element wear from cage contacts
NOTE The loss in weight is determined by weighing the rolling elements on a precision balance before and after the
stressing period. A change of the magnetic properties, which may occur during the stressing time of steel parts, can affect
the weighing result when an electronic balance is used. To avoid possible weighing errors, the rolling bearing part to be
weighed has to be placed at a proper distanced from the electronics, e.g. by suitable equipment.

3.13
mean rolling element wear

r
same test rig and with lubricating grease from the same sample
3.15
combined mean rolling element wear from reproducibility tests
mean rolling element wear in weight, m , from tests, each with two bearings, carried out with two or more tests
R
