Machine Operation and Failure Analysis

It is stated by SKF that about 75% of all bearing failures are due to lubrication. Proper lubrication is essential to the trouble free operation of your equipment.

Proper lubrication means getting the right oil to right point in the right quantity at the right time.

Herguth Laboratories specializes in the understanding and resolving problems associated with lubrication, friction and wear. In addition our laboratories are equipped to evaluate organic and inorganic deposits which are often the associated with failures.

There are 12 common wear regimes in machines, they are;

Mild Adhesion Corrosion
Severe Adhesion Fretting Corrosion
Abrasion Brinelling
Erosion Electro-Corrosion
Polishing Electrical Discharge
Contact Fatigue Cavitation Damage

Knowing the root cause and mechanism of wear we can make recommendation to lubrication methods, operational and design features to prevent reoccurrence of the problem.

Example of Severe Adhesion
