Jialede recently received a request from a motor shaft manufacturer for sealing grease to be applied to the interior of their small motor shafts to address their specific waterproof sealing requirements.


The motor shafts they needed to protect were small and operated in a "static, water-exposed, dynamic, intermittent rotation" environment. When stationary, the motor shafts were in direct contact with water, requiring a sealing material to prevent water penetration and damage to internal components. While in motion, the motors only rotate occasionally, requiring the sealing material to adapt to the operating conditions, maintaining sealing performance without wearing out the motor shaft.


Jialede's sealing grease offers exceptional compatibility for this application: First, it boasts a fast film-forming property. After application, it quickly forms a uniform, dense protective film within the motor shaft, conforming to small shaft dimensions and gaps, effectively blocking water and ensuring static sealing. Second, the film is both flexible and wear-resistant, maintaining integrity with slight motor shaft movement, resisting rotational friction and preventing seal failure. Third, it offers excellent compatibility, resisting corrosion and reacting with the motor shaft's metal material, ensuring long-term performance.



To ensure customer verification of the product's effectiveness, Jialede will provide samples tailored to the customer's shaft size and dosage, along with detailed application instructions. Customers can test the product in two key scenarios under actual operating conditions: static water penetration resistance (to observe water ingress) and dynamic rotational sealing stability (to inspect the film layer and performance after rotation). Customers will provide feedback on their experience, whether the product meets expectations, and optimization suggestions to further refine the solution and provide precise service.


Jialede is committed to solving various application challenges of sealing grease. Through a two-way interactive process of sample trials and customer feedback, we precisely meet customer needs and provide reliable protection for the stable operation of our customers' products.If you have any lubrication questions, please feel free to contact us.
