Introduction: The Commonly Ignored Peril of Over-Greasing When it comes to your industrial machinery, maintenance is synonymous with keeping your equipment in top-notch condition. But what is sometimes overlooked, yet can also have considerable adverse effects, is over-greasing. Although most companies take desired steps to keep machinery well lubricated, most have no idea that over lubrication can lead to expensive machine breakdown, unplanned downtime, and irreversible failures. In this article, we will discuss the hazards of over-greasing, why it happens, and how to prevent it and keep your equipment running as it should. What is Overgreasing? Over-greasing is simply applying too much grease to a component, often in excess of the recommended amount. In theory, if a little lube improves the performance of your equipment, then more lube should help it even better, right? Wrong! Too much grease leads to a variety of issues that reduce machinery performance and spoil equipment in the lo...

  Introduction Water contamination in oil is one of the most common causes of industrial machinery, hydraulics, and lubrication system failures. Moisture, in any amount, can wreak havoc from corrosion to wasted lubrication. Therefore, to assure the durability and functionality of the machinery, the causes, consequences, and solutions of Moisture pollution in oil should be recognized. In this article, we will break down the entry routes of Moisture into the lubricants, the threat it leads to your machinery, and how to manage & prevent Moisture contamination for the most efficient operation of your equipment. How does moisture-contaminated oil ? There are multiple ways moisture can contaminate oil. Knowledge of the main contamination sources is the first step in effective management and prevention of contamination. Common Causes of Moisture Contamination: Condensation:  Condensation is a frequent source of Moisture contamination in machines that work at different temperature...

  Introduction The oil pressure is a vital aspect of any machinery, whether it is an automobile, industrial machinery, or any machine. It ensures that all the moving components work together in a lubricated environment, thus reducing friction and preventing overheating. But when the oil pressure is sub-optimal, it can cause disastrous results. This article will shine a light on the dark dangers of low oil pressure in your car, and also help you realize how to avoid it by giving you a few tips on what you can do about it before it becomes an expensive repair or even a safety concern. Understanding Oil Pressure 1. What is Oil Pressure? Oil pressure is the pressure difference between the oil present in a machine's lubrication system. It is very important to deliver oil to all moving surfaces, as it helps to reduce wear and friction. The oil also draws heat away from the machine, keeping it cool while running. Low oil pressure can cause these tasks to go uncompleted, and serious mechan...

  Introduction Hydraulic oil is an essential component for hydraulic systems that drive machinery and equipment in many industries, such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive. Identify the characteristics and categories of hydraulic oil for the correct functioning and lifespan of hydraulic systems. This article will discuss what hydraulic fluid is, the consequences of hydraulic leaks, Types of hydraulic oil, and the Hydraulic fluid color code meaning. What is Hydraulic Fluid? Hydraulic fluid is a specific type of liquid that is utilized for hydraulic systems to transmit power. It works by transmitting force through one element to another and enables machines to carry out different tasks, lifting, moving, and controlling devices. Hydraulic fluids are specially formulated fluids that are designed to provide lubrication, cooling, and corrosion protection, as well as optimal performance for a variety of operational situations. Core Attributes of Hydraulic Fluid: Power Transmis...

  Introduction to Oil Varnish What Is Oil Varnish? Oil varnish is a residue that is sticky like honey, more resin-like and forms on surfaces in a machine. Normally, it clings to metal surfaces due to the breakdown of lubricants and can build up over time. This results in a gentle layer on machine parts, which in turn alters functioning and decreases the machine's lifetime, while varnish builds up on surfaces that affect critical clearances and finishes, starving components of lubrication. Why Industrial Oil Varnish Matters Don′t overlook oil varnish and compromise your oil system – it will lead to inefficient operations, breakdown, and high maintenance costs. In industries with large machinery, like manufacturing, power generation, and transportation, varnish management is vital to maintaining machine reliability and efficiency. The Role of Maintenance in Addressing Varnish Problems Proper maintenance is the first step in eliminating most of the varnish and varnish-related operatio...
