Proper lubrication is the lifeblood of high-speed bearings. Over-lubrication can cause churning and extreme heat buildup, while under-lubrication leads to metal-on-metal wear and early failure. Learn about synthetic oils, grease formulations, and automated lubrication systems that keep bearings running cool.

We examine the differences between mineral grease and synthetic greases, and detail how to calculate the correct relubrication intervals based on speed factor (DN value) and operating temperatures.
