Maintenance Technology September 2016 - 38

LUBRICATION STRATEGIES specific grease that is to be used, and the amount of the grease to be deployed in displacement and grease-gun shot action. To correctly perform the procedures in this sample checklist, a grease-gun consolidation program-wherein all current grease guns are surrendered and replaced with one grease-gun style-must be implemented. This allows the maintenance group to determine the exact displacement by volume and gun "shot" action for all grease deployed in the plant. Different greases are assigned specific greasegun and grease-point colors. Bottom line This "lubrication by design" approach requires almost no capital outlay. With some minor organizational effort up front, it can be rolled out systematically, machine by machine. In these times of diminishing technical skills The checklist on p. 37 points to numberand color-identification of grease nipples and grease guns as a way to quickly and accurately determine the correct lubricant amount and type for each bearing in the referenced gearbox. The solution shown here is from OilSafe (oilsafe.com), Rockwall, TX. and experience across industry, the alternative really isn't much of an option.
