Simple Way to Improve Bearing Life
 
When vibration analysis indicates the lube schedule has become inadequate, it can mean there is a buildup of thickener in the bearing housing. If regreasing does not reduce vibration energy levels, it is time to isolate the equipment, clean out the old grease and repack. You will see a significant decrease in energy levels, which will greatly increase bearing life. (Patrick Walsh, BHP Billiton)

Understanding Machine Failures
 
From "Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting":

Machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting is really the process of understanding what causes machinery to fail or malfunction. Understanding is thinking, and as one successful troubleshooter once said, troubleshooting is knowing when to think and when to act. If failure analysis and troubleshooting at times are not successful, it may be that our thinking patterns do not allow us to be efficient and successful.
