Why do bearings fail?
Automated Systems can eliminate 50 percent of bearing failures in many applications.
- 54 percent of bearing failures are contributed to inadequate lubrication and/or contamination.
- "Too little grease", "too much grease", and "not often enough" impact bearing life significantly. |

Why Automated Lubrication Systems?
- Manual lubrication typically produces inconsistent lubrication. The uneven lubrication cycle leads to wasted lubricant and allows contaminants to enter the bearing – producing premature wear.
- Consistent lubrication (small, precise amounts applied frequently) extends bearing life and prevents unplanned downtime.
- Lincoln is the largest manufacturer of lubrication systems and offers the widest range of solutions, distribution support and worldwide coverage.

Manual vs. Automated Lubrication

Small, frequent amount of lubricant while the bearing
is in motion will increase the bearing life. |
