Why are lubricants important?

Lubricants have a major role to play in machinery reliability, as well as reducing both maintenance costs and carbon output. But they're a frequently neglected piece of the reliability puzzle. This short video explains the impact that lubricants have on the world, and why we need to pay more attention.
Here at Lubrication Expert we take a first-principles approach to lubricants and greases; helping industry understand lubrication technology and pushing the limits of what is possible.

Subscribed to your channel and watching from the very first!

Thank you for posting these videos. I am always looking to learn more on specific topics as they come up. Currently rebuilding the front end of my truck and started looking into wheel bearing grease lol. Most videos are worthless when comparing grease. Basically just advertising. Found your videos and will watch them all. May not help me select the best grease but definitely gives me more knowledge on lubricants.
Please keep posting

Glad to help - we're going to try to stay pretty brand agnostic and just focus on the technology.

a doubt would surface superfinishing help? for gearbox!
>WPS
or
>isotropic superfinishing

[@LubricationExplained]

The surface finish definitely helps! Stress concentration is all a function of load and contact area. So the smoothness of the surface finish will increase the contact area, as does the tooth profile.
