Today, proper machine lubrication is vital to the health of automated equipment operating at ever-greater speeds and loads. Specifying the right oil or grease for the application requires some education on the part of design engineers, as not all lubricants are created equal. Gaining a basic understanding of lubrication types and failure modes can help designers narrow down the best oil or grease for the job and help end users avoid costly equipment downtime and repairs.
