Lubrication points are defined positions on machines or systems where lubricants are applied in a targeted manner to minimise friction and wear between moving components. Typical lubrication points are located, for example, on bearings, joints, gear wheels or guides.
Supplying these points with suitable lubricants as required is essential for trouble-free operation and the service life of the machine. The number, arrangement and design of the lubrication points vary depending on the machine type, load and operating conditions.
Lubrication can be carried out manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically, for example via central lubrication systems. The marking and regular maintenance of lubrication points are part of maintenance planning. Inadequate lubrication can lead to increased wear, unplanned downtime and component failure. Lubrication points are therefore central elements in the tribological optimisation of technical systems.
