Lubrication technology is a collective term for the methods and systems used to lubricate machines and mechanical parts, in other words, to supply them with lubricants (such as oil or grease). The goal is to reduce friction and wear between moving parts, extend service life, and prevent malfunctions.
Lubrication technology includes, among other things:
1- Selection of lubricants
- Oil, grease, or solid lubricants
- Depending on temperature, load, speed, and environment
2- Lubrication methods
- Manual lubrication (e.g., with a grease gun)
- Automatic lubrication systems (e.g., central grease pumps or oil sprayers)
- Recirculation systems (where oil is continuously reused)
3- Designing and maintaining lubrication systems
- Correct placement of lubrication points
- Drawing up lubrication schedules
- Monitoring lubrication via sensors or inspection
What does Smeertechniek Rotterdam do?
