Why the equipment has to be lubricated?
Many believe that lubricants are used to make mechanisms "slippery".
However, this is only their primary function, there are several benefits to
using the right lubricant:
- it allows equipment to operate under extreme pressures at high and
low temperatures - protects parts and mechanisms from corrosion
- improves equipment performance and availability
IMPORTANT
In 50% of cases observed, the incorrect lubrication process and
contamination are the causes of early bearing wear.
- 36% of cases - incorrect lubrication process
- 14% of cases - contamination
Moreover, 60% of all circuit defects are due to incorrect or insufficient lubrication.
