Interested in UNBIASED LUBRICATION FACTS? From day one I have strongly believed in sharing technical information. An educated prospect is more likely to utilize our products and services so I have advocated more knowledge whenever possible and in fact make it a point to always incorporate a tidbit of information in my presentations. Our clients are exposed to the fact that we are a resource for them, not just a vendor selling oil and grease.

The most elemental physical characteristic of any lubricant for any application, is its viscosity. For a greater understanding as to how viscosity of a lubricating oil is determined, please go to Understanding Absolute and Kinematic Viscosity by Drew Troyer of Noria.

For a great source of technical information regarding lubrication basics as well as component information go to TRIBLOGY ABC

For a super primer for rolling element bearing service check out SKF's PREVENTING BEARING LUBRICATION MISTAKES

Everything you always wanted to know about bearings can be found at BEARINGS 101

To gain a clear perspective on grease basics, go to GREASE PRIMER for a fairly comprehensive review.

BIODIESEL- While I can't attest to the accuracy of the content contained in the following site, go to http://www.nbb.org/askben/basics/ for a primer, this is as good a place to start as any.

Got Mobile Hydraulic Systems? Here's 4 tips to increase component life, courtesy of Brendan Casey's "The Insider Secrets to Hydraulics and Preventing Hydraulic Failures"

1. Don't change the oil - filter it.

Water or particle contamination rarely necessitates an oil change - unless the contamination has resulted in additive depletion or base oil degradation. These contaminants can be removed from hydraulic fluid by filtration.

2. Eliminate particle contamination to reduce breakdowns...

Research has shown that maintaining fluid cleanliness at ISO 4406 16/14/11 will result in a tenfold increase in the average time between breakdowns when compared with a fluid cleanliness level of 24/22/19. This is based on the findings of a three-year study of 117 mobile and industrial hydraulic machines to determine the correlation between fluid cleanliness and breakdown frequency.

3. ...And extend fluid life.

Particle contamination reduces the service life of hydraulic oil by stripping additives and promoting oxidation. Additives attach to particles, which are then removed by the filters or settle to the bottom of the reservoir. Wear metal caused by particle abrasion is a catalyst for fluid oxidation.

4. Keep it cool.

Elevated operating temperatures increase the rate at which the oil oxidizes and this decreases its service life. By-products

of the oil oxidation process - varnish and sludge, can cause reliability issues such as valve spool stiction and filter clogging.
