The lubricant should be selected appropriately with the necessary properties to mitigate the potential risks.

For many years, the grease versus oil debate has been ongoing and does not even fade away. Both sides are supported by strong, compelling arguments and explanations.

We couldn't stress enough the importance of protecting the bearings from ingresses like dust and water.

Root cause analysis is the process of discovering the root causes of problems in order to identify appropriate solutions.

In this article, we will focus more on rolling-element bearing simply because this is one of the most frequently used mechanical components that need a lubricant.

The development of cavitation can even start in the presence of positive pressures like the pressure of saturated vapor of the fluid at a given temperature.

Taking a grease gun filled with grease and pumping it into all the grease in the plant is considered to be the most common activity to be performed in a component.

The machine loses stability and faces conditional failure whenever the system's fluid temperature violates limits and that is both low and high temperatures.

As vital as other main components, pressure gauges are being used to monitor liquids and gas pressure for different applications like hydraulics and pneumatics.

Normally the term flow control refers to an adjustable needle valve with an integral bypass. Its main purpose is to regulate the speed of the actuator.

Inflating a balloon is a bit like filling up a small energy tank (or reservoir) made of rubber. It's stored in the compressed space as potential energy you can use later.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems have many things in common. For one, both of them are applications specialized applications of fluid power.
