Over-greasing creates heat
Excess grease increases churning and seal pressure. More grease is not automatically safer; quantity must match bearing size, speed, free space, and replenishment method.
Mixing without compatibility checks
Different thickeners and additive systems can soften, harden, or separate when mixed. Confirm compatibility or purge the old product before conversion.
Calendar-only intervals miss real conditions
Humidity, washdown, dust, temperature, vibration, and operating hours change grease life. Combine scheduled work with temperature, ultrasound, vibration, and visual inspection.
