In 2026, the penetration rate of brushless motor power tools continues to exceed 75%. Industries such as intelligent manufacturing, home decoration infrastructure, outdoor engineering, and lithium-ion power tools are raising higher standards for continuous operation stability, low noise performance and service durability. Core equipment including electric drills, angle grinders, electric saws, impact wrenches, garden tools, lift motors and reduction gearboxes operate under harsh working conditions: high rotating speed of 10,000–30,000 r/min, high torque, intermittent impact and heavy loads. Gearboxes often suffer from startup abnormal noise, excessive temperature rise under operation, load slipping, gear surface wear, jamming and even burnout, which directly reduce production efficiency, shorten equipment service life and increase after-sales costs.
From an industry perspective, power tool gearboxes represent typical applications of high speed, impact load and compact internal space. With poor heat dissipation and limited lubrication clearance, grease is easily thrown off by centrifugal force, making gearboxes one of the highest failure-prone components. Industry statistics show that over 60% of power tool failures are caused by lubrication failure, leading to a chain of problems including excessive temperature, loud noise, wear, leakage and plastic part corrosion.
Why Traditional Greases Fail to Adapt to New Working Conditions of Brushless Power Tools
Easy to be thrown off at high speed with fragile oil film
Conventional lithium-based and mineral oil-based greases feature weak centrifugal resistance under high-speed rotation. Grease quickly detaches from meshing surfaces, resulting in direct dry friction, sharp abnormal noise and rapid gear wear.
Insufficient extreme-pressure performance under heavy load
Gear surface stress can reach 500–1200 MPa under impact load. Traditional greases lack sufficient extreme-pressure additives and cannot resist pitting, scratching and scuffing failure, greatly shortening gear service life.
Prone to oxidation and sludge formation at high temperature
Continuous operation raises gearbox temperature to 80–120°C. Low-quality grease thins and drains at high temperature, oxidizes and thickens, forming sludge that clogs ventilation holes and lubrication channels.
Poor plastic compatibility causing component failure
Brushless tools widely adopt engineering plastic gears and retainers such as PA66, POM and PC/ABS. Ordinary greases containing mineral oil or polar additives easily cause plastic swelling, cracking and embrittlement, leading to permanent component scrapping.
Insufficient longevity requiring frequent maintenance
Traditional greases need regular refilling, increasing downtime and labor costs, and cannot meet the market demand for long battery life and maintenance-free lithium power tools.
