Wear refers to the progressive process of deterioration or loss of substance in mechanical components as a result of mechanical, chemical or thermal effects.
Various forms of wear occur in industrial systems, including adhesive wear, abrasive wear, fatigue wear and corrosion wear caused by chemical or electrochemical reactions.
Without proper lubrication, wear can have a lasting negative impact on the functionality, precision and service life of components. Consequently, in industrial applications, mechanical design, material selection, surface technology and lubrication are essential elements in the design process in order to reduce wear rates.
Preventive maintenance strategies such as regular lubricant analyses, monitoring of temperature and pressure conditions, and suitable dosing technology enable wear to be detected at an early stage, limited and the availability of the systems significantly increased.
