Reducing part wear is the key to extending equipment lifespan, improving reliability, and lowering maintenance costs.

Correct selection and use of lubricating oil/grease: Select the appropriate lubricant: Choose the right lubricating oil (viscosity grade) or grease (consistency, base oil, additives) based on the component type (bearings, gears, chains, etc.), working load, speed, temperature, and environment (humidity, dust, chemicals). Keep it clean: Ensure the lubricant is not contaminated by dust, moisture, metal debris, or other pollutants. Regularly replace or filter the lubricating oil and clean the lubrication fittings. Maintain the proper amount: Insufficient lubrication can cause dry friction and severe wear; over-lubrication (especially for high-speed bearings) can cause churning heat generation, oil oxidation and deterioration, and energy loss. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended lubrication intervals and fill quantities. Use the correct lubrication method: Manual oiling, automatic lubrication systems, oil baths, splash lubrication, etc. Choose the method suitable for the equipment and ensure proper lubrication coverage. Keep it clean to prevent abrasive wear: Hard particles such as dust, grit, and metal chips are the main cause of abrasive wear. Use effective seals (oil seals, air seals, labyrinth seals) to prevent contaminants from entering the friction pair, and regularly clean the equipment surface and surrounding environment, especially for open or exposed components in harsh environments. Ensure correct installation and alignment: Precise installation: Install components (such as bearings, couplings, gears) strictly in accordance with installation specifications and torque requirements. Improper installation (such as hammering on the bearing inner ring during installation) can cause immediate damage. Precise alignment: Ensure precise alignment between rotating components (such as shaft and motor, both ends of a coupling), including angular alignment and parallel alignment. Misalignment generates additional vibration and stress, leading to uneven wear and premature failure. Balancing: For high-speed rotating components, ensure good dynamic balance to reduce additional loads and wear caused by vibration. Avoid overload and impact loads: Operate under rated conditions: Allow the equipment to operate within the load, speed, and temperature ranges specified by the manufacturer. Continuous overload will greatly increase contact stress and accelerate fatigue wear and plastic deformation. Reduce impact: Avoid or minimize sudden starts, stops, and load impacts as much as possible. Impact loads can instantly far exceed design stress, causing component fracture or cracks and accelerating subsequent wear. Buffer devices (such as shock absorbers, soft starts) can be used. Control operating temperature: Prevent overheating: Excessive temperature reduces lubricating oil viscosity, destroys oil film strength, accelerates oil oxidation and deterioration, lowers material strength, and can even cause scoring (adhesive wear). Ensure the cooling system (air cooling, water cooling, oil cooling) operates properly with good heat dissipation. Avoid excessive cooling: At extremely low temperatures, lubricating oil may become too viscous with poor flowability, resulting in poor lubrication during startup. In cold environments, select lubricants with good low-temperature performance or take preheating measures. Reduce or eliminate corrosion: Moisture and rust prevention: Moisture and corrosive media cause chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion (rusting), damaging component surfaces and forming pits that become initiation points for wear. Use rust-preventive oil/grease, improve equipment storage and working environment (humidity control), and select corrosion-resistant materials (such as stainless steel, surface treatment). Select compatible materials: In environments with corrosive media, select friction pair materials that are mutually compatible and corrosion-resistant. Regular inspection and maintenance: Condition monitoring: Detect early signs of abnormal wear through vibration analysis, oil analysis (detecting wear particles, oil degradation), temperature monitoring, noise monitoring, and other means. Preventive maintenance: Regularly inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust, and replace wear parts according to schedule. Do not wait until components completely fail to take action. Timely repair: Components found with wear beyond limits, damage (such as cracks, spalling), or excessive fit clearance should be repaired or replaced promptly to avoid "minor problems becoming major ones" and causing more severe secondary damage. Select appropriate mating materials: Friction compatibility: For contact pairs with relative motion (such as shaft and bearing, gear meshing), select material combinations with good friction compatibility to reduce the tendency for adhesive wear. Hardness and wear resistance: Select appropriate materials or surface treatments based on the wear type. When abrasive wear is predominant, increase hardness; when adhesive wear is predominant, select incompatible materials or self-lubricating materials. Common practices include carburizing and quenching, nitriding, chrome plating, spraying wear-resistant coatings, or using engineering plastics and composite materials. Optimize design (if possible): Increase contact area: Where permitted, increase the load-bearing contact area to reduce pressure per unit area. Improve lubrication methods: Design reasonable oil grooves and oil holes to ensure lubricating oil can effectively reach the friction surfaces. Use friction-reducing designs: Such as using rolling friction (bearings) instead of sliding friction, using self-lubricating materials (graphite, PTFE composites), etc. Standardize operation: Train operators: Ensure operators understand the correct startup, running, and shutdown procedures for the equipment and avoid improper operations (such as cold high-speed heavy-load startup). Follow operating procedures: Use the equipment strictly in accordance with the equipment operating procedures. Summary of key points: Lubrication is the foundation, cleanliness is the guarantee, installation and alignment are the prerequisites, avoiding overload and impact is the priority, and monitoring and maintenance are the means. By integrating these points into the daily management and maintenance processes of the equipment, component wear can be significantly reduced, equipment service life extended, and production efficiency and economic benefits improved.
