Key Takeaway Proper Lubrication Minimizes Wear: Regular, appropriate lubrication reduces friction, extending equipment life and enhancing efficiency.Choose the Right Lubricant: Use lubricant types—oil, grease, or synthetic—suitable for specific machinery and conditions.Set and Follow Lubrication Schedules: Consistent schedules prevent over-lubrication and under-lubrication, minimizing breakdowns.Consider Automated Solutions: Automated and condition-based systems offer precise, timely lubricatio …

Key TakeawayUnderstand Application Requirements: Choose lubricants based on the specific needs of the machinery, such as load, speed, and operating conditions.Viscosity Matters: Selecting the right viscosity ensures optimal performance and prevents wear or overheating.Consider Environmental Factors: Temperature, humidity, and exposure to contaminants should guide your lubricant choice.Base Oil Type: Use synthetic oils for high-performance and extreme conditions, and mineral oils for general …

The Lubrication of industrial machinery is an essential requirement for every mechanical operating device because of its crucial need in any rotating equipment efficiency and life expectancy. Now the question is, "where can these industrial lubricants be found in the Nigerian market"? Read on as we walk you through this articulated content.According to a study, over 50% of bearings fail due to improper Lubrication of moving parts of the machinery. Choosing the right lubricant solution will help …

The importance of grease on wheel bearing can never be overemphasized, greasing the wheel bearing provides lubrication and prevents corrosion. Without greasing, the bearing and the parts around it can rust, and this will affect the bearing’s performance.Most lubricating greases for automotive wheel bearings must meet the NLGI GC-LB or SAE J310 requirements. Both of those specifications require that the grease must operate over a temperature range of -40 °C (-40 °F) to 160 °C (320 °F). Thi …

Proper Grease Selection in Marine EquipmenBackground Description of grease It is gradually becoming an imperative to make a proper grease selection for marine equipment if marine equipment are expected to last as long as the manufacturer OEM had specified, Grease is a solid to semi-solid product of dispersion of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant, writes Machinery Lubrication. Marine Grease is an NLGI (National Lubrication Grease Institute) 2 multi-purpose lithium complex …
