Good insights here from Rich Wurzbach on over greasing a bearing as well as the "rate of delivery", i.e. how fast the grease is forced into the bearing, not allowing time for even dispersion of the grease throughout the entire bearing. Not only is over greasing a bearing a waste of product, which adds up over time and over multiple bearings to a substantial sum, but it can lead to damage of the bearing (it is said that more bearings die due to over greasing than under greasing) and environmental contamination. This shows the importance of good training, not just for the oils and technicians doing the job but also for the planners and managers/supervisors who need to give sufficient time to the technicians to complete their tasks properly.

The Power of Hydraulics for Education and Industry Hydraulics enables the study of the behaviour of fluids in relation to the transmission of energy and the generation of motion. This technology has applications in the fields of education and industry. In the field of education, hydraulics is used as an training tool in which, through the construction of simple hydraulic systems, students can experiment and understand concepts such as pressure, flow, force and movement. In terms of industry, hydraulics plays a key role in a wide range of applications. Hydraulic systems are used in industrial machinery and equipment to transmit and control power. The pressure generated by hydraulic fluids is used to drive cylinders, motors and other devices, enabling the precise and powerful movement of heavy machinery. Hydraulic systems are also used in vehicles, such as cranes, excavators, forklifts and agricultural equipment, to perform tasks that require considerable force. At SMC International Training we have a variety of products focused on training in the different fields of application mentioned above. On the one hand, our HYDROMODEL-200 training equipment allows to satisfy the training needs in the technology related to hydraulic drives in the most visual way. The elements consist of a transparent methacrylate body with industrial metal parts inside.

Operator Training Improve training and skills of equipment operators Improving the knowledge and skill of equipment operators and other people that come in contact with the equipment is among the most cost-effective and easy ways to improve equipment reliability. Most of the machines operated in industrial settings have to interact with humans in one way or another. No matter how sophisticated the controls for tracking machine health are, if the operators are not properly trained, the equipment is bound to experience frequent failures. At the design stage, reliability engineers can work with ergonomic consultants to simplify the design from a human perspective. In other words, to balance equipment efficiency with its ease of use and maintainability. Once the human factors are incorporated in the designs, the next phase is often to make sure that operators get proper training and education. The error-free operation of the equipment and its effective and quick troubleshooting produce a direct impact on reliability by reducing unscheduled downtimes and other unpleasant surprises. As such, they should be one of the building blocks of a solid asset management program.
