different types to help preserve machinery in the best
possible condition. Read this article on the ML site to
discover the best course of action regarding the amount
of oil that machines should be stored with as well as
options for constantly purging stored equipment.
How Hydrolysis Can Affect Your Oil
Water contamination can affect machines in
a variety of ways, including leading to a chemical
breakdown of the oil or lubricant. is is known as
hydrolysis. Access this 1-minute, 34-second video
to find out the effects hydrolysis can have on your

10 Things You Should Know
About Varnish
Varnish is not easy to define because there is no
single type. Many things affect the kind of varnish that
forms, including the operating conditions, the type of
oil and the environment. Check out this article on the
ML site for a list of 10 things that should be under-
stood about varnish as it applies to lubrication.
How to Detect Electrostatic
Discharges in Oil
As an oil's conductivity decreases, the potential for
electrostatic discharge increases. e charge develops
from friction between the oil's molecules as well as
between the oil and the surface of the piping, reser-
voir, filter housing, etc. Learn the factors that affect
an oil's conductivity along with the best methods for
minimizing the charge potential by reading this article
on the ML site.
Hydraulic Gear Motors and
How They Work
Some lubrication professionals may not fully under-
stand how a hydraulic gear motor works. Access this
2-minute, 11-second video to get a detailed look at the
interior of a motor, its gears and body. See how oil
is pushed into the inlet port and through the outlet,
traveling between the gear teeth and the gear housing,
generating the rotation of the shaft.
