Equipment downtime and reduced component
life are a few of the consequences — and
potential costs — of using the wrong seals on many types of industrial equipment including pump bearing frames, electric motors, fans, pillow blocks, gearboxes and more. However, if
correctly specified and installed, seals provide effective barriers that both retain lubricants as well as protect against water, corrosion, debris and other contaminants.
For the lubrication of open gear drives
used in different industrial applications
such as cement and coal mills,
rotary furnaces, or where the sealing
conditions are difficult, semi-fluid
greases are often used in preference to
fluid oils. For girth gear applications
the greases are used with a splash or
spray lubrication system. The selection
of such greases influences pitting lifetime
and the load-carrying capacity of
the gears, as well as wear behavior
