Why Automatic Lubrication Systems are a Must

 


To succeed in a competitive marketplace, machinery is pushed to its maximum productivity level. Protecting your machinery is absolutely important during such times. This is where the Automatic Lubrication System comes in.

Here are a few reasons why automatic lubrication systems are a must.
  • Reduces Repair - Lubrication is necessary for improving the bearing life. The Automatic Lubrication System is designed to improve the bearing life by applying small amounts of lubrication, which can help to achieve optimal level of lubrication. It reduces repair and ensures operation efficiency.
  • Prevents Waste of Lubricant - Too much lubrication can result in premature bearing failure. Therefore, it is important to use the exact amount of lubricants. ALS avoids over-lubrication by dispensing precise amounts of lubricants, which helps to reduce lubricant wastage. It helps in keeping the area clean and avoids lubricant spillage.
  • Eliminates Machine Downtime - Machine breakdowns can lead to headaches, as machine downtime can lead to loss in production. The ALS technology can relieve this problem as it minimises downtime and increases machine availability, leading to maximum production and profit.
  • Enhanced Safety - To lubricate the machine one would have to climb over or go under the machine to apply lubricants and this poses a hazardous risk. Safety should be the top priority while handling the machine. The ALS system eliminates the need to climb on, go under or over the machine.
  • Reduces Man hours - With ALS, labour hours are reduced to minimum. The ALS allows top up of grease or lubricant as part of its scheduled maintenance and eliminates the shutdown of machines.
  • No Spillage - The ALS comes with a closed and sealed system. The machines remain cleaner and avoid the chances of over lubrication.
  • Promotes More Efficient Lubrication - Especially in critical operations, it is essential that the equipment is always running. In manual lubrication, it is almost impossible to carry out a task as it presents a hazardous risk. Being fully automatic, the ALS system can lubricate while the machine is running and it delivers the right lubricant, in the right amount and at the right time.

Schaeffler’s Arcanol: Elevating Bearing Performance with Advanced Lubrication

Image
  Choosing the correct lubricant is essential in ensuring that rolling bearings and linear units can achieve the desired performance and service life. Schaeffler's Arcanol lubricating greases undergo rigorous quality tests before supply. The quality of each batch is thoroughly tested and accounted for. In Schaeffler’s own analytical laboratory, the Arcanol lubricating greases are checked for their chemical and physical properties following strict guidelines to ensure high product quality. Lubricants Schaeffler’s lubricants offer significant benefits, enhancing the running behaviour of bearings and extending the life and operational reliability of the bearing arrangement. The lubricant range is graduated in such a way that it can be used in almost all areas of applications. This is evident as they can withstand various operating conditions and are suitable for all rolling bearings due to their completion of different testing procedures. In 2015, Schaeffler conducted over 50,000 hou...

The Role of Bearings in the Aviation Industry

Image
  Though small in size, bearings are the backbone of many industries that involve rotary machines and equipment. The aviation industry is no exception. However, this industry demands bearings that can handle extreme heat and immense pressures. They should be able to operate efficiently in corrosive environments. In this blog, we look at a few important applications of bearings in this aviation industry. Key Applications of Bearings in Aviation Bearings offer frictionless, smooth rotational, and linear motion between moving parts in the aviation sector. Commonly, in aircraft components, they are used in engines, flight control systems, and auxiliary power units. Flight Control Bearings Control bearings are specially designed to ensure smooth and responsive aircraft maneuvering. But how do these bearings help? Basically, they minimize friction and enable precise movement of control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, and rudders. For example, flight control linkages rely on spherical ...

Types of Main Bearings Used in Marine Industry

Image
  Lead Bronze, Bi-Metal, and Tri-Metal bearings: These three types of bearings play a huge role in the marine industry. They are utilised to support rotating shafts and reduce friction to ensure smooth rotations. These bearings come with distinct benefits such as high load-bearing capacity, wear and corrosion resistance. Let us explore what these three bearings are made of, how many layers they have, and what they are used for. Lead Bronze Bearing Flash layer: This topmost layer is composed of tin and lead. It is 0.035mm thick. This layer’s job is to protect the bearing from getting corroded and dust when not being used. It flashes off when a bearing is running. Nickle Barrier: This 0.02mm thick layer - made of nickel - helps prevent corrosion and avoid diffusion of tin into bearing metal. Lead Bronze: The third layer comes with an anti-seizing property. It is made of lead bronze. This layer is great at preventing parts from sticking together. In the setup, it is the main part th...
