Easylube® is aimed to achieve precision bearing lubrication and condition monitoring through recording each bearing specification, working condition, lubrication and maintenance history.

Why Bearing Fails

Bearings are a vital component in major industrial equipment. The breakdown of one small bearing will upset the whole production line and profits. More than 95% of all bearings are manually lubricated.

According to world leading bearing manufacturer SKF, most bearing will last much longer than the machine and equipment life, and more than 50% of bearing failures are the result of improper lubrication.

Most grease-lubricated bearings fail to reach their life expectancy because the re-lubrication procedure is unclear and/or hard to follow.

Causes of Premature Bearing Failures

Proper lubrication is crucial because under lubrication will cause a premature bearing’s failure while on the other hand, over greasing will lead to catastrophic failure to the bearing (grease churning and overheating) which eventually damage the electromotor coils and windings.

In order to achieve optimum reliability and maximum benefits from a lubrication program, several factors need to be taken into account. These factors are summarized by the 5-R’s of Proper Lubrication:

  • Right Lubricant
  • Right Amount
  • Right Time
  • Right Place
  • Right Person

MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) formulation has the proven processes and procedures in providing the correct “Grease Volume” and “Re-Lubrication Interval” for optimizing bearing reliability. Unfortunately, maintenance technicians still rely on the traditional manual greasing which lead to poor control in greasing pressure, over or under lubrication.

Take the Guesswork Out of Bearing Lubrication

Although it is a common lubrication problem, it can be easily resolved by the latest Easylube® RFID micro-computer lubrication system. Easylube® RFID is designed to replace labor-intensive manual greasing and unreliable chemical – and spring-lubricators.

With Easylube® RFID, the exact greasing quantity and re-greasing intervals for each bearing is calculated and managed by Easylube® MQL software. In addition, Easylube® RFID tracks, monitors and alarms user on lubrication-related issues during routine inspection thus enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance practice.

How Easylube® RFID Maximize Plant Profitability?

Energy Saving
Less friction-related energy loss when bearing operating at its optimal lubrication.

Reduction of Breakdown and Downtime
Proper lubrication reduces unnecessary downtime and maintenance costs.

Employee Safety
Eliminate frequent manual greasing at the dangerous or difficult-to-reach-location.

Suitable For The Following Applications:

  • Manual greasing is impossible to perform especially while machinery is in operation.
  • Bearings which are isolated, difficult or dangerous to access.
  • Bearing require frequent re-lubrication (High speed, dusty environment, acidic, alkali, high temperature, wet, heavy load).
  • Machines that can’t afford to have any downtime.
  • Imported and expensive bearings.
  • Applications where cleanliness is concerned, especially in food processing plant.
