Lubrication: Not Too Much and Not Too Little
Did you know that the two most common failures for bearings are over lubrication and under lubrication?
If a bearing is over lubricated, the bearing can be pushed excessively by the lubricant causing additional wear of the bearing. If the bearing is under lubricated it will rub on the solid surface causing friction and wear on the bearings. The cost for a bearing replacement can be just the tip of the iceberg. The unscheduled downtime is where you can really rack up huge monetary losses.
