Reliability Programme Maximizes Gearbox Life
The number one failure cause in any mechanical application is contamination. Industrial plants have a big investment in their equipment and the lubricants protecting that equipment, so it makes sense to protect these assets.
A good lubrication reliability programme is one that prevents contamination, oil foaming, overheating and emulsification – all caused by use of the wrong oil leading to lubricant failure and mechanical wear.  Â
Follow these six steps to significantly reduce your maintenance, repair and lubricant costs, and free up your maintenance team to engage in more proactive reliability activities:
- Install desiccant breather
- Install sight glass
- Select the right high-performance gear oil
- Implement oil analysis
- Filter to 17/16/13 cleanliness code
- Implement colour-coding & tagging
