While the industrial internet of things (IIoT) will not make all other forms of condition monitoring obsolete, it is a powerful enabler.

Once contaminants are present in grease, they are nearly impossible to filter out. One simple and sometimes overlooked solution for preventing contamination is a follower plate.

Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants, or EALs, have emerged as crucial in minimizing the ecological impact of lubrication without compromising performance. But what exactly are EALs, and why are they important?

In the world of machinery lubrication, ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of equipment is of the utmost importance. One critical aspect of achieving this goal is conducting regular oil analysis and particle counting.

Perceptiv empowers teams to proactively manage their assets, reducing costly downtime and enhancing overall equipment health.

Wear debris is like a lit fuse to a catastrophic event, especially for critical machines. Most condition monitoring technologies and predictive maintenance strategies focus on discovering the signs of failure as soon as possible. But why did the failure occur in the first place? What is the match that lit the fuse?

Plugging, channeling, fatigue cracks and media migration are types of oil filter failures, with each having a distinct failure mechanism and detection method. Learn how they can be prevented…

Oil analysis is a routine activity for analyzing oil health, oil contamination and machine wear. Read about oil analysis tests, interpreting oil analysis data and more.
