As a Technical Consultant here at Noria Corporation, I see many different failures related to lubrication issues. We are called out to consult on and fix the problems through better, more precise lubrication practices. One of the most common issues we run into is that the Lubrication Technician accidentally put the wrong lubricant into the machine; this is very easy to do when a proper lubricant labeling system isn't in place and can lead to many different types of problems within the machine. The mixing of incompatible lubricants can cause a vast array of issues, such as seal expansion or shrinkage, additive precipitation, loss of anti-wear performance, loss of demulsifying properties, etc. When these problems arise, they ultimately lead to machine failure.
