Selecting Industrial Lubricants: the 4 C’s to Lubrication

There are several factors to consider when selecting the right industrial lubricant. A manufacturer’s recommendation is a great starting point, but it doesn’t have to be the only option. Most manuals are written for ideal conditions, but these guidelines don’t address the real environment in which the equipment is being used. What if your equipment manufacturer recommends a NLGI-grade #2 grease, but you are operating in below zero conditions?

It’s best to use an industrial lubricant that meets the specific demands of your operation. There are new advancements in lubrication that could prove to be more reliable or extend equipment life further if you are willing to do the research and understand the basics.

We recommend customers understand the “4 C’s to Lubrication”:

  • Correct Technology
  • Correct Quantity
  • Correct Frequency
  • Correct Procedures
