How often do you re-pack bearings? Ever wondered whether you’re doing it right? Well here are four important considerations when deciding to lubricate a bearing:
• Lubricant selection
• Application method
• Volume of lubricant to be delivered
• Application Frequency.

There are many different ways to lubricate a bearing, and opinions vary concerning which approach is best. Therefore, the best approach may be to use several methods to develop a strategy that defines default values, which can then fine-tuned, based on feedback from visual inspections, operating temperature, ultrasonic instrumentation and other factors. Due to the variability of operating conditions and machine design, it could be impossible to be precise without introducing the condition-based component to the
