Guess That Failure! Why Incorrect Lube Intervals Keep Winning

by | Cartoons

It shouldn’t take a game show to recognize the top cause of bearing failure, but here we are—incorrect lubrication intervals win again. Whether it’s overgreasing, undergreasing, or using the wrong grease entirely, poor lube practices destroy more equipment than most realize.

This cartoon drives home the point with humor, but the consequences are anything but funny: overheating, contamination, seal failure, and unplanned downtime. The fix? Precision lubrication—based on load, speed, temperature, and condition—not calendar schedules or guesswork. Take the mystery out of maintenance. Lubricate smarter.
