Lubricators and lubricating systems dispense or distribute oils and grease to mechanical devices such as bearings, conveyor chains, railroad rails, air tools, or packing glands, for the purpose of minimizing friction between moving parts.
The high costs of bearing failures continue to plague heavy industrial plants, including steel mills, rolling mills and continuous casting operations.
Sealed-for-life bearings account for only a small proportion of all bearings in use, more than 14 per cent of all premature bearing failures are attributed to contamination problems.
Versatile and reliable, lubrication equipment safeguards machinery against wear and tear while reducing maintenance needs and increasing operational uptimes for maximum value.
Two common causes of electrical equipment failure are component seizure and degraded lubricant.Component 1) Seizure Lubricant…2) Degradation…
Obviously, the first parameter to monitor would be the viscosity, which is the single most important physical property of a lubricant.
Corrosive plant environments are among the most serious threats to many industries today, contributing to extensive production downtime and exorbitant maintenance costs.
In this article, a case will be made for automatic lubrication as a true necessity, rather than an option. Here are just five of many reasons why automatic lubrication is so valuable.
