Condition-based Grease Lubrication Best Practice
Condition-based grease lubrication programs for rolling bearings require careful consideration of detection, relubrication, and impact. Optimizing maintenance routines with relevant technologies is crucial for positive change.
Condition-based grease lubrication program - threat or opportunity?
Is there anybody else who have used this approach successfully with rolling bearings - based on vibration data?
There are few essential things to be considered before starting such program:
Detection
-Choose reliable measurement technologies.
-Ability to focus on machines that require attention.
Relubrication
-How much?
-How often?
Impact
-Positive, zero or negative?
-If zero or negative, what is the reason?
Record your success
-Choose relevant KPIs
-Verify impact in the long run.
The key is to optimize your daily maintenance routines using relevant technologies - without changes at the field level, there won't be positive change in value.
