  Introduction: Bearing life is influenced by many factors, such as load, speed, temperature, and lubrication. Bearing problems don’t just mean expensive repair costs and downtime. By becoming knowledgeable and taking action on these main “bearings destroyers”, greater life in your bearings will be achieved with better and smoother operation and less cost to operate. Bearings are essential to the smooth operation of numerous industrial machines, from automotive engines to heavy equipment used in manufacturing. To improve the performance of equipment and reduce the costly downtime, it is vital to extend the life of bearing systems by maintaining them effectively, lubricating them properly and monitoring their condition indefinitely. In this detailed guide, we break down the strategies to increase bearing service life and protect your investment in industrial equipment. Understanding the Life of Bearing The life of the bearing is defined as the period of (running) time during which t...

  Introduction Well, when it comes to lube, oil viscosity is everything. The resistance of a fluid to flow is known as its viscosity and will influence the ability to lubricate, protect, and cool machinery. In this article, we will explore the basics of oil viscosity, its measurement, its application, and the factors that influence it. Armed with a good understanding of these fundamentals, you can make better choices about which equipment to lubricate and how to maintain it in an industrial setting. What is the Viscosity of Oil? Viscosity is the measure of the internal friction of the fluid, or how gunky it is. In oils, it specifies the flow of the oil at an established temperature. Some oils are called high-viscosity oils because they have a high relative resistance to flow, and others are low-viscosity oils, which are thin and can flow easily. This property is critical to proper machinery lubrication because it influences oil film formation, lubrication efficiency, and wear prote...
