Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a magneto-rheological grease composition which contains (a) a base oil including at least 30% by mass of an ether type synthetic oil; (b) an aliphatic diurea thickener; and (c) magnetic particles in an amount of 45 to 95% by mass based on the total mass of the composition. The magneto-rheological grease composition can show superior thermal stability, dispersion stability and magneto-rheological properties.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A magneto-rheological grease composition comprising: (a) a base oil comprising at least 30% by mass of an ether type synthetic oil having a kinetic viscosity at 40° C. of 60 to 140 mm 2 /s; (b) an aliphatic diurea thickener; and (c) magnetic particles in an amount of 45 to 95% by mass based on the total mass of the composition, wherein the aliphatic diurea thickener is represented by formula (1): wherein R 1 and R 2 are a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same. 2. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , wherein the ether type synthetic oil is an alkyldiphenyl ether oil. 3. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic particles are particles of at least one selected from the group consisting of iron and iron compounds. 4. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic particles have an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm. 5. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic particles are ferromagnetic particles. 6. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 5 , wherein the ferromagnetic particles are iron particles. 7. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , further comprising an antioxidant (d). 8. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 7 , wherein the antioxidant is an amine type antioxidant. 9. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 8 , wherein the amine type antioxidant is alkyldiphenylamine, α-naphthylamine, or a mixture thereof. 10. The magneto-rheological grease composition of claim 1 , having a worked penetration of 250 to 450. 11. An apparatus where the grease composition of claim 1 is enclosed in a repeatedly moving part.
