Is Getting The Correct Type Of Lubricant Really Important? |
|
Answer» Yes, improper lubrication is responsible for approximately 43% of bearing failure – that’s a LOT! Application specific grease or oil is important, as is LUBRICATING frequency, quantity, and viscosity. Be SURE to re-lube at proper intervals, and beware lubricant contamination. And, take NOTE that over-lubrication of bearings used in high heat applications can be just as harmful as insufficient lubrication.
