How can we control grease usage in the new normal? What is the right grease pump? How can we avoid wasting grease? How can we ensure that all regreasing is done timely and not too frequently?
Are you also facing these issues? Don’t worry… you will find the solution here! At the bottom of this article, there is a success story that is important to note. One thing is certain: missing regreasing often leads to bearing damage in machine components, while regreasing too frequently is wasteful. Both of these issues can inflate your costs, right?
Let’s explore some important points…
Causes of Bearing Damage
Did you know that 10% of bearing damage is due to poor lubrication control? This not only incurs costs for bearing procurement but also causes production downtime, leading to greater company losses.

So, can an autolubricator help solve this problem? Not necessarily! Choosing the wrong autolubricator can actually increase costs. So, what is the right solution to optimize grease usage and reduce lubrication maintenance costs?
The Impact of Choosing the Wrong Autolubricator
Be cautious; many offer cheap and guaranteed autolubricators. But when problems arise, claiming the warranty is difficult. The process is tedious and full of excuses. Meanwhile, the losses due to downtime are unavoidable. This is the serious impact of choosing the wrong autolubricator.
Various other problems experienced by companies using the wrong autolubricator include:
- The autolubricator is not supported by Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) calculations, so the dosage used sometimes does not match the Load Environment Temperature Speed (LETS) data, causing bearings to be more easily damaged.
- No warranty or bonus battery, and if purchased, the price is quite expensive.
- No indicator for lubrication control, making it difficult to know if the autolubricator is functioning when problems arise.
- The cartridge cannot be replaced, so if the grease runs out, you have to buy a whole new autolubricator set
These issues lead to high maintenance costs!
