Lubricating your machinery is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Neglecting this essential task can lead to severe damage and costly repairs. Here are some common signs that your machinery might need lubrication maintenance:
- Unusual noises: squeaking, grinding, knocking/banging are some of the earliest and most noticeable signs of insufficient lubrication.
- Increased temperatures: consistent overheating and sudden temperature spikes are caused when lubrication is insufficient.
- Decreased efficiency: machinery that is not properly lubricated tends to operate less efficiently. Machinery will produce less than its usual capacity and operations will take longer to complete.
- Visible wear and tear: while some damage is normal (perhaps you’ve had this particular piece of equipment for a while), more often than not this damage is caused by lack of lubrication. Visible marks on surfaces, warping or bending can be signs that it’s time to invest in regular lubrication.
By paying attention to these signs and taking proactive steps, you can ensure that your machinery operates smoothly and efficiently. Regular lubrication maintenance is an investment in the health and productivity of your equipment.
