Industries that rely on hydraulic systems are often some of the heaviest consumers of lubricants, primarily due to their tendency to leak. While best practice would suggest that they identify and fix the leaks, many companies are either unable or unwilling to address...
Implementing AI and ML for Advanced Turbomachinery Oil Condition Monitoring
Artificial intelligence (AI) has expanded to various fields, and the industrial area is no exception. In maintenance, AI has begun to automate processes and can improve the early detection of problems that cause unavailability in critical machinery, especially in...
Mastering the 5 Stages of Bearing Life for Improved Reliability
All bearings are destined to fail eventually. While ineffective lubrication practices are arguably the greatest contributing factor in such failures, the root cause(s) are rarely investigated due to production and maintenance turnaround demands. It's through...
Preventing “Creep to Failure” in Mechanical Systems
In my recent article, "Improve The Reliability of Hydraulic Systems for Just Pennies A Day," I used the term "creep to failure." It describes mechanical systems that continue to work, albeit inefficiently, for extended periods despite suffering from disrespect, abuse,...
