Many organizations failed to understand the importance of an effective lubrication procedure and how to apply them. The lubrication industry must realize the importance of lubrication and the application of its five basic “Rights” in order to achieve world-class machine reliability.
Let’s take a look at each concept and then discuss best practices, including how to choose the right lubricant supplier.
The Five R’s of Lubrication Procedures
1. Right Product
The determination of the correct lubricant is the initial move towards accomplishing equipment reliability. Boundary film formation properties and viscosity grade are the two most important factors that help to select the right product.
Lubrication-with-the-right-product
The OEM can most often help you choose the right lubricant products to suit your operation. It’s important to discover high-quality lubricant products that are promptly accessible and meet the OEM conditions.
One should select a product that meets their goals and budget. By consulting the maintenance specialists, lubricant manufacturers as well as OEMs can assist in making a final decision.

2. The Right Place
After selecting the correct type of lubricant we must apply it at the appropriate location. It is common to add the wrong product at a lubrication spot.
In order to avoid these cases, all the lubrication points should be appropriately labelled. Lubricant manufacturers supply lube tags to identify the correct lubricant that should be used at each lubrication point.
3. Just the right amount
More is not necessarily better in Lubrication. Too much lubricant can cause damage to the framework.
Over-greasing your machinery is one of the major failure modes. In the case of grease lubricant, it is more difficult to deal with lubrication. Manual re-lubrication of lubrication is one aspect that can be difficult to manage.
However, using few formulas and measurements makes it easy to calculate the right amount. It is likewise to consider the entire picture and factors that influence the volume.
4. Right time
Once we establish our whole program with the right product, place, amount and quality there is a need to establish lubrication intervals. Other factors, such as temperature, environment, and machinery arrangement, can affect re-lubrication amounts and intervals. When it comes to the right time these factors play an important role as it impacts re-lubrication intervals.
