The True Cost of Bearing Lubrication
June 15, 2011 1:12 pm | by IgusToday, machine and equipment manufacturers are feeling more pressure than ever to reducecosts without sacrificing machine performance and this balancing act can be difficult to achieve.Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) often overlook a simple solution that can have a positive,long-term impact on profitability for themselves and their customers: the elimination of bearinglubricant. By eliminating lubrication systems where possible, OEMs can reduce productioncosts, while at the same time making their equipment more marketable and less expensive to operatefor the end users.
