Ways to improve your Machine Lubrication Program

Lubrication is an essential step in a maintenance of a system, Lubrication is the process or technique employed to reduce friction between, and wear of one or both, surfaces in proximity and moving relative to each other, by interposing a substance called a lubricant in between them, Proper lubrication of system allows continous operation of equipment, reduces rate of wear, and prevents excessive stresses or seizures at bearings. When lubrication breaks down, components can rub destructively against each other, causing heat, local welding, destructive damage and failure.

So Here is some basics thing you know to develop a world-class lubrication program

• Be proactive:  when applied correctly, a proactive maintenance strategy can double or triple lubricant service life. This is achieved by reducing the conditions that stress an oil (cleaner, cooler, drier, etc.).Know Your Lubrication Needs: The next time you award a supply contract for lubrication, take the time to actually determine your company’s needs. The process may reveal that you have been paying for services that you don’t value or would prefer to buy elsewhere.
• Skills Foster Reliability: If what you want most is to avoid machine failure, then what you need most are maintenance skills that foster intrinsic machine reliability.
