Lubrication is one of the most important success factors for time and cost-efficient maintenance. It is critical for low-friction and therefore energy-efficient machine operation and can contribute to greater sustainability in production. Incorrect lubrication is one of the most frequent causes of rolling bearing damage and machine failure.
Schaeffler’s new white paper entitled “Can lubrication be easy and sustainable?” focuses on lubrication systems and lubricants, highlighting what is important when it comes to lubrication. The aim is to help you lubricate your machines more sustainably and cost-effectively, simplify your maintenance processes and prevent machine downtime.
The white paper will help you to discover how modern lubrication technology can pay off for your business; how lubrication systems can make your processes easier and more environmentally friendly; and what you should consider when changing lubricants. It includes basic knowledge, expert tips and guidance, as well as numerous practical examples from a range of industrial sectors.
Automatic lubrication systems
In many companies, it is still common practice to lubricate machines manually with a grease gun. Not only is this time-consuming and sometimes involves working in hazardous areas, it also entails risks such as over-lubrication or lubricant starvation, as well as the use of inadequate types of lubricant. Automatic lubrication systems can eliminate these risks and offer additional significant benefits.
Looking for the answers? The white paper answers four key questions surrounding modern lubrication:
- How can lubrication systems simplify lubrication processes and avoid unplanned downtime?
- Which lubrication methods reduce unplanned downtime and do so sustainably?
- What should you do if the lubricant recommended by the manufacturer increasingly proves to be the cause of machine or bearing failures?
- When switching from one lubricant to another, what should you consider in order to avoid unplanned downtime?
Lubrication can be a curse or a blessing. Sometimes it’s just small details that make the difference between failure-prone production and smoothly running operations. The latter can often be achieved with fairly manageable investments, so take a look at the new white paper and see where your operations may benefit.
