Best Ways to Reduce
Gearbox Oil Leakage
When it comes to oil leakage, the only
real solution is to take down the machine
and repair it in order to stop the leak.
However, there are some simple patches
that can help until a gearbox can be taken
out of service and properly repaired.
Check out this article on the ML site to
see what the best options are.
Controlling Contaminant
Ingression with Labyrinth Seals
There are a variety of options for keeping
contaminants out of machines, but one
that should not be overlooked is the type
of seal being used. Seals not only can
keep contaminant ingression in check,
but they can also prevent lubricant from
leaking out of the machine. Access this
1-minute, 36-second video to learn the
different types of seals and which ones
are the most effective.
The Advantages of Using Lubri-
cation Management Software
Lubrication management sof tware

How to Calculate Grease Quantity
Before greasing a bearing, there are
several things you need to know, such as
how much grease to put into the bearing
and the output volume of the grease gun.
Access this 1-minute, 18-second video
to find out how to avoid overgreasing by

bearings as well as the average quantity
for each pump of your grease gun.
Why an Oil's Flash Point Drops
The f lash point is the lowest tempera-
ture at which an ignition source causes
the vapors of the lubricant to ignite
under specif ied conditions. A f lash
point that drops suddenly could poten-
tially cause an explosive situation. Any
source of ignition could spark a reac-
tion. Read this ar ticle on the ML site to
understand how you can help prevent
this from happening.
