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 us study each of these concepts, along with a summary of best practices including procedures in the selection of the optimal lubricant supplier.


The Five R's of Lubrication Procedures

1. Right Product

The first step towards equipment reliability is to determine the right lubricant. 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.


In order to avoid these cases, all the lubrication points should be appropriately labelled. Lubricant manufacturers provide lube tags for the identification of the appropriate lubricant to be utilized at the lube point.


3. Right Amount

More is not necessarily better in Lubrication. 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. When it comes to the right time these factors play an important role as it impacts re-lubrication intervals.

The 5 Rights of lubrication have been effectively reviewed and found to be more relevant and important. It is important to be precise in defining lubrication properties, lubrication intervals and amounts.


For example, you have well-defined lubrication practices but are poorly managed. Therefore, it is necessary to have dedicated maintenance and technical team with the right attitude.
