The Benefits of Using Wear Debris Analysis in Industrial Machinery
The analysis of powertrain lubricants for the purpose of detecting faults and abnormal wear patterns is a useful practice in mobile equipment applications. Unfortunately for many users, these techniques don’t always transfer successfully into stationary equipment applications. In recent years, new approaches and techniques have been advanced to improve the detection of incipient and developing… Read More

Aren’t Machines Supposed to Wear Out?
You’ve heard the expression. There are only two things in life that are certain: death and taxes. Some have suggested that the same applies to machinery. Read More

What is the No. 1 Cause and the No. 1 Consequence of Wear?
Particles. Think about it. Tribological studies on wear-related machine failure rank particle-induced abrasion as the No. 1 cause of wear. Read More

No Contamination, No Wear, No Kidding
I realize that this statement – No Contamination, No Wear, No Kidding – may not sit well with some readers, such as a few purists within the tribology community. But before anyone gets too excited, let me start by listing my assumptions: Read More
