Many organizations failed to understand the importance of an effective lubrication procedure and how to apply them. The lubrication industry must realize the importance of lubrication and the application of its five basic "Rights" in order to achieve world-class machine reliability.





Let's take a look at each concept and then discuss best practices, including how to choose the right lubricant supplier.


The Five R's of Lubrication Procedures

1. Right Product

The determination of the correct lubricant is the initial move towards accomplishing equipment reliability. The two most important factors in selecting the right product are viscosity and boundary film formation properties.

2. Right Place

Once we select the right type of lubricant, we need to apply it to the proper location. Adding the wrong product to a lubrication point is not uncommon.


To avoid such cases, all lubrication points must be properly labelled. Lubricant manufacturers supply lube tags to identify the correct lubricant that should be used at each lubrication point.


3. Just the right amount

In Lubrication, more isn't better. Too much lubricant can cause damage to the framework.


One of the most common causes of machinery failure is over-greasing. In the case of grease lubricant, it is more difficult to deal with lubrication. Manual re-lubrication is one of the aspects of lubrication that is difficult to control.


It is easy to calculate the correct amount by using a few measurements and formulas. It is important to take into account all factors and variables that affect the volume.


4. Right Time

After we have established the program, including the product, quantity, and quality, it is time to set lubrication intervals. Other factors, such as temperature, environment, and machinery arrangement, can affect re-lubrication amounts and intervals. These factors are important as they impact re-lubrication intervals.

The 5 Rights of lubrication have been effectively reviewed and found to be more relevant and important. However, the accuracy in defining the lubrication properties, lubrication intervals, amounts, and different requirements carried out by the individuals plays an important role.
