Basics of Lubrication

1Centralized Lubrication GOALS Perfect lubrication to decrease bearing failuresWhy bearing fail*Over 50 % of bearing failures are the result of improper lubrication* Source: TAPPI 1995 Engineering Conference2

Centralized Lubrication GOALS

Make any part that moves: move better last longer at a lower cost

7Centralized Lubricating SystemsAdvantagesWith centralized lubricating systems a dosed quantity of lubricant is supplied to all connected points at short intervals of time.

This ensures that:

the lubricant quantities are dosed correctly

no lubrication point is forgotten the lubricant consumption is minimised

8Centralized Lubricating SystemsAdvantages no contamination enter the lubrication points maintenance costs are reduced through adecrease in personnel requirements mix up of lubricants is prevented energy savings are achieved through the optimised lubrication the accident risk is reduced
