Application Notes:
 

channeling


is the formation of a channel in lubricating grease by a lubricated element, such as a gear or rolling contact bearing, leaving shoulders of grease that serve as a seal and reservoir. This phenomenon is usually desirable, although a channel that is too deep or permanent could cause lubrication failure.
