Precision Industrial Lubrication (eBook, ePUB)

A Technical Framework for Increased Equipment Reliability

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Precision Industrial Lubrication provides a technical framework for implementing precision lubrication as a core reliability discipline. The major theme is the transition from reactive, one-size-fits-all lubrication practices to condition-based, application-specific strategies driven by field data, digital tools, and engineering rigor. The scope of the work spans lubricant selection, equipment compatibility, contamination control, delivery systems, condition monitoring integration, supplier qualification, and program sustainability with the latest industry standards included throughout.

The driver for this publication is the persistent gap between theoretical lubrication standards and field execution. Failures due to lubricant misfit, contamination, improper handling, and procedural drift remain prevalent despite the availability of high-performance products and modern tools. Industry developments-including electrification, IIoT, regulatory tightening, and rising expectations around uptime-demand a smarter, more integrated approach. This work addresses that need with field-tested strategies, technical specifications, case studies, and alignment with industry standards. It preaches the need for "mindful maintenance."

The manual is engineered for reliability engineers, maintenance professionals, asset managers, and technical procurement staff. It will be used as a reference for specifying lubricants and equipment, auditing lubrication programs, writing procedures, training technicians, and integrating lubrication into CMMS, ERP, and reliability platforms. Rounding out this extraordinary package are more than 100 essential reference tables, charts, and key takeaways related to the book on an affiliated website.

Unique Features

• Serves as both a practical field guide and a technical design manual.
• Covers what the author calls "Buddhist friction" and the Seven-Fold Path of Principles of Mindful Maintenance.
• An affiliated website, www.precisionindustriallubrication.com, boasts a wealth of data useful to lubrication and reliability engineers.
