Ensuring you are using the right lubricant is the first step in protecting machinery and equipment, but the application of that lubricant is just as important. “To function properly, the lubricant needs to be consistently and reliably applied in the correct amounts, at the right interval,” explains Callum Ford, national
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
One of the most effective ways to keep your machinery running smoothly is to keep equipment well lubricated. But to ensure your lubrication is effective, you need to monitor your lubricant and keep moisture out of the system. To do this, Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa suggests installing oil sight
