Bearings are a fundamental component of mechanical equipment and centre on the idea of reducing rolling friction to allow parts to move without being destroyed. Reducing friction can contribute to higher performance, better energy consumption and less wear and tear, meaning that proper maintenance and care of bearings is essential
With colder winter weather setting in across the country and the possibility of electricity supply uncertainties arising again as South Africa’s COVID-19 lockdown eases, companies will be looking for ways to take the best possible care of their equipment and reduce their energy consumption.

Successful farmers not only understand crop or stock management – they keep an eye on the day-to-day maintenance needs of agricultural equipment too. This may range from large-scale machinery like tractors and combine-harvesters, to farm vehicles and smaller machinery, such as bakkies, trucks, trailers and mowers, among others. “We understand
Proper lubrication is essential to the correct functioning of mechanical equipment and ensures its longevity. When bearings are under- or over-lubricated, it causes problems, and can eventually lead to machinery failing. “Even over-lubricating is problematic, as it causes grease churning and overheating, which can eventually damage a machine’s motor coils
