The paper presents the results of research about alternative grease - glycerin. Tests were made on four-ball apparatus. Analysis of results confirms that glycerin can be used for lubrication in friction nodes. This work includes results of wear tests in case of using a few glycerin water solutions with different concentration and comparison with typical greases.
