| Advice for Greasing Bearings |
|
| If you already use vibration-monitoring equipment with "spike energy," gSE or other high-frequency detection technology, you can optimize the quantity of grease added to a bearing by running your monitoring equipment while adding grease. When the overall level of the signal drops suddenly and noticeably, grease has reached the bearing. Stop adding more. Using this approach saves those on limited budgets from having to buy additional specialized greasing equipment with monitoring ability. (Brian Mann, ConocoPhillips)

| Avoid These 3 Common Mistakes When Lubricating Bearings
Lubrication of rolling element bearings is one of the most misunderstood, abused maintenance tasks in industry. How do you know when a bearing needs grease? And how do you know how much grease the bearing really needs? If over greasing or greasing on a time based schedule is your method of operations, you need to Hear More.

 | Using particle counters to monitor oil and fluids onsite offers many benefits. For instance, a particle counter will allow you to be proactive and test new oil for contaminants to make sure the oil is clean before it goes into service. Watch this video to learn several other advantages of having an onsite particle counter, such as for testing filter performance, knowing when to use a filter cart and detecting abnormal wear. |

Aeration can be a serious problem if not dealt with quickly and properly. It can lead to cavitation of the pump, spongy or slow hydraulic response, and loss of control of the hydraulic system. Discover what causes aeration and how you can increase the life of your machine and oil by controlling the amount of air in contact with your oil.
