Ball and roller bearings require very little lubricant, the principle of their design and the design of spaces around them (grease cavities), is to provide lubrication with a very thin film on the tracks and rolling elements. This is provided by the oil that slowly bleeds from the grease in the cavities.
From this, it can be seen that it is not necessary to have the bearing and cavities completely full, in fact, this can be disadvantageous on high speed bearings, since the grease will be continuously churned, which can lead to overheating and excessive oil leakage from the bearing housing, even premature failure.
The only time that bearings and housing can be completely filled and kept full are where:
- bearings are at slow speed
- sealing is poor
- conditions are very dusty
