Abstract
The present invention provides a grease composition capable of securely preventing generation of a low-temperature abnormal noise when it is cold and a grease-enclosed bearing. A grease composition comprises a base oil and a thickener, wherein the base oil has a pour point not more than −50° C. and a kinematic viscosity not less than 15 mm/s at 40° C. The base oil is at least one oil selected from a PAO oil and a perfluoro ether oil. The thickener is at least one substance selected from a urea compound and a fluororesin. A mixing consistency of the grease composition is in the range of 250 to 350. A grease-enclosed bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a grease composition enclosed on a periphery of the rolling elements. The grease-enclosed bearing is used for an automotive electric auxiliary machine.
