WHITE PAPER:

Moisture Contamination and its Effect on the Remaining Useful Life of Bearings

Accurate control of moisture in lubricating oils is critical to keeping your machines running at their fullest potential. Water content in oils can cause pitting, oxidation and particle contamination, which in turn lead to shorter equipment lifespans and decreased performance. This paper will discuss the dangers of moisture contamination, its effect on bearing life, and the various techniques available for performing moisture analysis so that you are well equipped to discover, correct and prevent moisture contamination before it becomes a more serious problem.
