The wealth of features offered by today's automatic lubrication systems, which prevent machine wear and failure by delivering precisely regulated volumes of lubricant exactly where and when they are needed, are discussed by Phil Burge. Effective lubrication is crucial to the efficient operation of machinery, but the need for re-lubrication at regular intervals is often overlooked. Even if lubricants are applied at specified intervals it is common in manual systems for either too little lubricant to be used, leading to machine wear and failure, or too much, creating excessive waste and increased cost.
