2024 Lubrication Guide
Few parts of a manufacturing plant are untouched by lubrication. Motors, drives, gears and bearings need lubrication to remain operational and safe. Maintenance teams and lubrication suppliers are working in concert to finding better solutions and additives to ensure these machines have a longer life with reduced downtime.
The 2024 Plant Engineering Lubrication Guide, sponsored by Lubriplate and prepared in partnership with the Society for Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), offers a snapshot at some of these innovations for oils and greases that help keep manufacturing plants humming along. The guide also is designed to provide manufacturers with an understanding of all of the market options available.
The featured articles accompanying the 2024 Lubrication Guide focus on the subject from many different angles. One story focuses on lubrication’s evolution and the impact it has on a dusty environment. Another story explains how oil sampling can help maintain a healthy compressed air system.
The continuing partnership between the manufacturers and the lubrication suppliers – and working in consort with organizations such as STLE, which provide the technical research and in-depth analysis of industrial needs – keeps these issues at the forefront of any preventive maintenance programs. As sensors become more attuned to the issues of gear-based systems, this data will also better inform the plant maintenance team to potential issues before they become a productivity or safety issue.
We thank all of our partners on this year’s Lubrication Guide, including the companies that submitted their materials for consideration, and we hope our readers find the content useful.
