AN OVERVIEW OF LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS
Different types of lubrication
Increased component wear
Product spoilage
Increased operating and maintenance costs
Time consuming
Dangerous to lubricate while running
Higher energy usage
Bearing seal damage
Extended equipment life
Reduced consumption of lubricant
Reduced maintenance costs
Reduced machine downtime
Safer and healthier working conditions
Environmental improvements
Suitable for any application
MANUAL AUTOMATICVS
Lubricants form a film between the metal surfaces of machine parts to avoid metal-to-metal contact
and to keep the machine running efficiently.
What is lubrication?Lubrication is the application of lubricants in order to reduce friction and allow moving machine parts to
slide smoothly past each other.
