Machines fail for a variety of reasons. Likewise, not all failures are the same. The term "machinery failure" or "malfunction" usually implies that the machine has stopped functioning the way in which it was intended or designed.

There are many methods for safely extending intervals. Each depends on the exact PM task you are trying to extend, but at the core of most is oil analysis. Repeatable and representative oil samples are essential for evaluating the current practices and the possibility of extending those practices.

As oil breaks down, a variety of issues can arise, including gelation. This is when the oil is no longer fluid and resists flow. By understanding what causes gelation and which oils are most prone to this process, you can help to prevent failure and ensure your equipment will run efficiently

Lube Tip
|
|
|

Checklist for troubleshooting foaming and aeration of lubricating oils:
-
Ensure there are no leaks introducing air into the oil on the suction side of the circulating pump.
-
Improper oil viscosity (especially higher viscosity) can increase the risk of foaming.
-
Outside contaminants such as grease, dust or moisture can retard air release from oil.
-
Provide maximum separation of the suction and return lines to give air a chance to separate from the oil. Tank baffles provide further help.
-
Be sure that the oil return line is below the oil surface in the reservoir. If it is above the oil level, oil could splash into the tank putting air into the system.
-
Ensure that there is adequate residence time of the oil in the reservoir to allow the air to release.
-
Consider employing a diffuser on the return line to allow oil to "ooze" into the tank, reducing agitation.
