Proper lubrication of equipment is the key to ensuring its efficient and durable operation. Improper use of lubrication systems often leads to equipment failures, performance degradation, and even downtime accidents. As one of the automatic lubrication system manufacturers, CISOLUBE is well aware of the importance of lubrication in various types of equipment. Although oil lubrication system designs are becoming increasingly intelligent, many misconceptions still exist in actual use. Below, we will analyze some common lubrication misconceptions and point out how to avoid them, thereby improving equipment operation efficiency and extending service life.
Many people mistakenly believe that as long as the lubricating oil achieves a lubricating effect, it is sufficient, and choosing low-quality lubricating oil is a common misconception. Low-quality lubricating oils often contain a large amount of impurities and inefficient additives, which not only fail to provide continuous lubrication but may also lead to internal sediment accumulation, clogging of oil passages, and even accelerated wear. High-quality lubricating oil usually undergoes finer filtration and stable additives, which can effectively resist high temperatures and oxidation, reducing component wear. Therefore, choosing a reliable brand of lubricating oil and selecting the appropriate type based on equipment requirements is the foundation for ensuring normal equipment operation.
Many maintenance personnel only replenish lubricating oil when they find the equipment is lacking it, thinking that oil lubrication systems need attention only when oil is scarce. In fact, this practice is extremely dangerous. Insufficient lubrication prevents the formation of proper fluid friction, leading to direct metal-to-metal friction, accelerated wear, and potentially causing equipment failures such as scoring, scratching, and seizing. Therefore, regular inspections of the automatic lubrication system are crucial. The quantity and quality of the lubricating oil in the equipment should be regularly checked and replenished in a timely manner to ensure the oil level is always within a reasonable range, preventing equipment damage caused by oil shortage.
Some operators believe that the more lubricating oil, the better, thinking that excessive lubrication can provide better protection. However, overfilling lubricating oil can increase operational resistance and may cause grease leakage and overheating issues. Additionally, excessive lubricating oil may lead to excessive internal pressure of the equipment, affecting the lubrication effect and stability of the equipment. Therefore, lubricating oil should be precisely added according to the equipment's operating conditions and working environment. CISOLUBE's automatic lubrication systems can precisely control the oil volume, avoiding both over and under-lubrication scenarios.
Many users mistakenly believe that different brands of lubricating oil can be mixed. However, the components and additives of different brands of lubricating oils vary. Mixing them may cause chemical reactions that can affect the lubrication effect and even damage equipment parts. To ensure the lubrication effect and normal operation of the equipment, it is best to use the same brand of lubricating oil and follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacement.
To save costs, some companies neglect the regular replacement of lubricating oil, continuing to use old oil for extended periods. This practice leads to the accumulation of impurities, pollutants, and the gradual failure of additives in the lubricating oil, significantly reducing its lubricating effect and potentially causing excessive wear on equipment. Regularly replacing lubricating oil is a basic requirement for maintaining equipment performance. The replacement cycle should be determined based on the equipment's workload, operating environment, and the condition of the lubricating oil. Using an efficient automatic lubrication system can ensure the lubricating oil's quality remains optimal, reducing the hassle of frequent oil changes.
The operating environment of the equipment has a significant impact on the lubrication effect. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and dust all affect the performance of the lubricating oil. For example, in high-temperature environments, lubricating oil easily oxidizes and evaporates, while high humidity may cause the oil to absorb water, affecting its lubricating effect. Additionally, dusty work environments can contaminate the lubricating oil, impacting the lubrication effect. Therefore, selecting lubrication oil and systems suitable for specific operating environments is crucial.
Equipment lubrication is the foundation for ensuring long-term stable operation of mechanical equipment. Avoiding the common lubrication misconceptions mentioned above not only extends the service life of equipment but also improves production efficiency and reduces downtime. As one of the professional automatic lubrication system manufacturers, CISOLUBE is committed to providing high-quality lubrication solutions for various industries. Through precise lubrication systems, we help enterprises improve equipment maintenance levels and ensure that equipment is always in its best condition. Scientific management and proper maintenance allow equipment lubrication to truly play its due role, assisting enterprises in achieving higher production efficiency.
