Poor lubrication accounts for more than 36% of premature bearing failures!
Include contamination and this number rises to well above 50%. Therefore lubrication and cleanliness determine the bearing life.
There are many benefits of proper lubrication including an increase in productivity, reliability, availability & durability, machine uptime, service intervals, whilst reducing energy & heat consumption caused by friction, downtime, operating expenses, product contamination, corrosion, maintenance & repair costs and so on.
Choosing the right SKF lubricate need not be difficult. This chart provides you with quick suggestions on the most commonly used greases in typical applications:
