Lubrication and Maintenance


Lubrication and Maintenance Bearing lubrication reduces friction between the rolling parts. The purpose of bearing lubrication is to prevent direct metallic contact between various elements. Thin layer of oil or grease on the contact surface accomplishes the purpose. Lubrication has further advantages like:











  • Reducing friction and wear

  • Heat dissipation

  • Prolonging bearing life

  • Preventing rust


To achieve all this effectively an appropriate lubricant needs to be used. Apart from this, the cleanliness and the storage conditions of the bearing need to be taken care of. Lubricants also prevent dust and water etc from entering the arrangement. Two most common types of lubrications used in the bearings are grease and oil.



The increased speeds and higher temperatures at which modern bearings routinely operate, combined with the demands placed on them for improved accuracy and reliability, emphasizes the need of proper maintenance. In addition cleaning and storage of the bearings also enhance the life of the bearing.
