Lubrication Services

Proper lubrication is one of the most important aspects of maintaining industrial equipment, as up to 50% of rotating equipment failures occur due to poor lubrication protocols. Without the correct lubricant applied in the right quantity at the appropriate intervals, rotating machinery can experience increased friction, overheating, excessive wear, and premature failure.

By implementing the right maintenance, you can improve equipment reliability, extend asset life, and reduce the chance of expensive, last-minute breakdowns. At RJW, our expert engineers develop tailored lubrication programmes that keep your machinery operating efficiently whilst supporting your overall maintenance strategy.

Why Is Proper Lubrication Important?

Lubrication does much more than simply reduce friction between moving parts. It also helps to dissipate heat, minimise metal-to-metal contact, remove contaminants, and protect components against wear and corrosion. If lubrication goes unchecked or maintenance is neglected, equipment can become more susceptible to mechanical failure, increased energy consumption, and eventual breakdowns.

Our Lubrication Services

Our lubrication programmes are designed to suit the needs of a wide range of industries and equipment. Whether you’re implementing a new maintenance schedule or improving an existing programme, our engineers can provide comprehensive support and expert guidance.

Our services include:

Lubrication programme development and maintenance
Lubricant selection and optimisation
Lubrication schedule planning
Oil condition and contamination analysis
Wear debris monitoring
Lubrication gap analysis
Automated lubrication system specification and installation
Lubricant storage and handling advice
Ongoing technical support and reporting

All our services are carried out by our engineering team that has been trained in recognised lubrication best practices, ensuring that your equipment and its components receive the best possible servicing that improves overall efficiency and longevity.

Improve Reliability & Reduce Downtime

Effective lubrication scheduling plays a key part in predictive and preventative maintenance. By closely monitoring the lubricant condition and ensuring the equipment is lubricated correctly, potential problems can be quickly identified before they develop into costly breakdowns.

A well-managed lubrication programme can help to:

Reduce equipment wear
Extend bearing and motor life
Improve plant reliability
Minimise unplanned downtime
Lower maintenance costs
Increase overall equipment efficiency

When combined with condition monitoring and routine inspections, lubrication management provides valuable insight into equipment health and supports long-term reliability and operation.
