Lubrication
Maintenance definition:
Lubrication is the process of using a lubricant (like oil or grease) to reduce friction and wear between two surfaces. Proper lubrication is crucial for the smooth operation and longevity of machinery, preventing premature wear and failure. It is a fundamental aspect of maintenance routines, requiring careful selection of lubricant types and adherence to lubrication schedules to ensure optimal equipment performance.
