What’s the difference between grease and oil lubricants?
Grease and oil are both types of lubricants, but they serve different purposes based on application. Grease is a semi-solid lubricant made by combining base oil with a thickening agent. It stays in place and is ideal for components like bearings, joints, and linkages where drip or splash lubrication isn't practical. Oil, on the other hand, is a liquid lubricant that flows easily, making it better for engines, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems. Oil provides better cooling and can carry away contaminants, but it needs seals and containment systems. The choice depends on whether you need lubrication that stays put or circulates continuously through a system.
Can I mix different types of lubricants?
Generally, it’s not recommended to mix different lubricants, especially those with different base types or additive packages. Incompatible oils or greases can result in chemical reactions that degrade performance, cause separation, or lead to corrosion and component damage. For example, mixing synthetic and mineral oils may reduce viscosity or lead to foaming. Even mixing greases with different thickeners (like lithium and calcium) can result in clumping or oil separation. Always check product compatibility before mixing or switching lubricants. When in doubt, it’s best to flush the system and start with a clean application of the new product.
How often should industrial equipment be lubricated?
The frequency of lubrication depends on the type of equipment, operating environment, and the specific lubricant used. High-speed machinery may need lubrication daily or weekly, while slower or sealed systems may only require servicing every few months. Dusty, wet, or high-temperature environments accelerate lubricant breakdown and may require more frequent application. Many manufacturers provide lubrication schedules based on operating hours or usage cycles. Using tools like condition monitoring or grease guns with counters can help standardise intervals. Staying consistent with lubricant checks is essential for preventing breakdowns and extending machinery life.
