"The effects of friction and the resulting wear of moving components is reduced by effective lubrication. To achieve optimum bearing performance and extended life, correct lubrication is as important as the appropriate selection of each bearing. Although a general multipurpose grease is adequate in many applications, more arduous operating conditions demand the careful choice of the correct lubricant and lubricating system. In selecting the right lubricant for a specific application, factors to be considered are speed, ambient temperature, load, vibration and environmental conditions." This is the view of Wayne Holton, BMG's business unit manager, Bearings, Seals and Gaskets division, who gives us insight and an in-depth look at how friction, wear and lubrication affect bearing performance.
