The primary purpose of grease, as with most lubricants, is to reduce the friction between moving machine components, thus reducing the wear on the machine, but it also serves other purposes, including acting as a contamination barrier and as a vehicle for heat transference. When applied correctly and at the appropriate intervals, grease can increase machine performance and lifespan.
