In this brief video, Rafe Britton explains why open gear lubrication presents unique challenges and how to overcome them.
Open gears are not enclosed within a housing and are subjected to harsh operating conditions making them more prone to wear and damage. They can experience excessive friction and heat when they are not properly lubricated, leading to premature failure and downtime.
Precision open gear lubrication helps to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and protect against wear and corrosion. It can extend the lifespan of the gears, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the overall efficiency of machinery.
Proper open gear lubrication is essential for industrial machinery’s safe and efficient operation. By selecting suitable lubricants and following best practices for application, you can maximize the lifespan of your open gears and reduce the risk of costly downtime.
