The importance of bearing lubrication
For a business to run smoothly, everything must run like clockwork.
Nowadays, the goal is to consume as little energy as possible while producing more with less. Therefore, the proper operation of machines and extending their service life are factors that affect the success of industry.
To make all of this possible, it is essential to have proper lubrication at every stage of the process. To do so, it is important to use the best products for each component.
What does proper lubrication provide?
Among its benefits are reduced friction and wear between parts, reduced energy losses, a cooling effect by absorbing heat, a lower likelihood of premature deterioration, and error prevention and fuel savings if they are of the appropriate quality and type.
In addition to using quality lubricants, we must also consider the quantity. When lubricating with grease, the bearing cavities must always be completely filled.
Excess lubrication of the bearing and housing is harmful in the case of medium and high rotational speeds because kneading of the grease can generate high temperatures that damage the bearing and the grease.
To successfully achieve the above, ROYSE has professionals with expertise in the subject and a department that will advise you on automatic greasing in order to use the exact amount of lubricant.
It is also important to ensure lubricant cleanliness; therefore, below we detail the 5 essential steps to carry out proper oil and grease hygiene and contamination levels:
- Always use a new container and new lubricant
- Proper storage and conditioning
- Lubricant dosing in machines
- Prevent impurities from entering the machinery
- Remove residues generated by machine wear
Grease lubrication and Schaeffler
What should we consider when selecting the most suitable lubricant?
Whether using grease or oil, it is important to consider characteristics such as speed, temperature, the need for protection against contaminants, and the planned maintenance to be carried out.
In this post, we will focus on grease lubrication provided by the brand SCHAEFFLER, one of the main suppliers trusted by ROYSE to offer the best quality to its customers.
Schaeffler, as a leading bearing manufacturer, is thoroughly familiar with the crucial aspects of bearing lubrication.
Thanks to its expertise, it has managed to develop its well-known Arcanol greases. With them, it meets all market needs related to bearing lubrication.
Arcanol, premium bearing greases
All Arcanol greases undergo extensive quality and performance testing, as well as property control in accordance with strict guidelines.
As a result, there is less bearing wear, a longer grease service life, increased efficiency, and fewer machine and equipment stoppages.
This means lower associated costs.
