Good lubrication is not simply about selecting the right oil or grease.
It is about understanding the equipment, operating conditions, lubricant, application method and maintenance practices as one complete system.
Even a high-quality lubricant may not deliver the expected performance if the wrong viscosity is selected, the lubricant becomes contaminated, the quantity is incorrect or the relubrication interval is poorly managed.
Temperature, load, speed, moisture, dust and operating environment can all influence lubrication performance.
That is why effective lubrication requires more than product knowledge. It requires an understanding of how the machine and lubricant work together.
For industrial organizations, better lubrication practices can contribute to improved equipment reliability, reduced maintenance problems and longer asset life.
The right lubricant is important. The right lubrication practice is even more important.
