Precision Gear Lubrication Building a Foundation for Reliability - PART 1

by Mark Barnes

Introduction

Gears are commonplace in many different industries. From high speed gearing found in turbo-machinery to slow speed gear reducers found across a multitude of manufacturing and process industries, gears are the workhorses of industry. Yet despite their widespread use, gears are perhaps the least maintained of all lubricated components. This can result in poor reliability, excessive maintenance and repair costs, and unscheduled production downtime.

The True Cost of Poor Lubrication

By Jason Kopschinsky

In 2011, Des-Case Corporation commissioned a survey of almost 350 industry professionals on the topic of precision lubrication as it relates to overall equipment reliability. We asked them, "How important is precision lubrication to overall equipment reliability?" We provided the respondents with several options for potential responses. The respondents were able to select from one of seven responses, ranging from "critically important," "important but not critical," "slightly important" and so on down to "not at all important."

Optimizing Bearing Life with Precision Lubrication

A forty-five minute long presentation by Jarrod Potteiger, Educational Services Manager, Des-Case Corporation

Getting the optimum life from bearings is somewhat uncommon. Many maintenance professionals don't even realize how long bearings should last in a given application. Unfortunately, many focus on failure prediction and repair efficiency when they could be preventing failures in the first place. In order to achieve longer bearing life, one must understand the common root causes of bearing wear and learn how to eliminate them.

Maximize Reliability by Optimizing Your Lubrication PMs

Jarrod Potteiger

Precision lubrication has several important components that are often summarized in the five "rights" of lubrication. Those being the right lubricant, in the right amount, at the right frequency, in the right place and of the right quality or condition.

Using Acoustic Emission Enveloping to Detect Lubrication Defects

An hour long presentation by Robert Collyer, Principal Engineer, SKF

SKF Acoustic Emission Enveloping should be used along with the measurement of other data as part of a multi parameter approach to provide a holistic assessment of a bearing or a machine's health. Acoustic emission enveloping technology can detect lubrication defects and improve machinery monitoring, providing a valuable indication of unhealthy or damaging running conditions that can be corrected or improved. Traditional vibration in most cases indicates that damage has already occurred.
