The optimal grease to use in power plant equipment is rarely contemplated by people other than truly dedicated operations and maintenance managers, and the workers on their teams who feel the pain ...

Greases help sleeve bearings operate with less maintenance. Understanding bearing oscillation angle, temperature, friction, and grease replenishment requirements will keep bearings working longer.

(MENAFN- GetNews) Grease lubrication is generally suitable for low to medium speed applications where the operating temperature of the bearing is below the grease's limit temperature. No anti-friction ...

Rolling-element bearings are used for the precise guidance of moving parts. Frictional losses are extremely small because the bearings rest on rolling elements, enabling very heavy loads to be ...

Self-lubricating resins can make plane bearings quiet, durable, and put them on the FDAapproved list. Plane bearings are simple: Two surfaces moving against each other without the aid of a rolling ...

Friction wastes power, it is a generator of unnecessary heat, the cause of wear and tear and it reduces mechanical efficiency of plant and machinery, explains engineering solutions provider BMG. The ...

Grease is crucial to heavy construction equipment. "Many times, grease is not only the lubricant, but it is the barrier to contamination," says Stede Granger, OEM technical manager, Shell Lubricants. ...
