If we were to plot out the major steps in performing lubrication work there would be at least seven overarching steps, with many sub-steps below them. Keep in mind this is only related to performing the actual lubrication work and doesn’t include anything related to maintaining the lube room, interpreting oil analysis reports, receiving incoming lubricants, or the countless other sub-tasks.

Tribology. It's a funny-sounding word you might not have heard before, but it could change how you see and interact with the physical world, says mechanical engineer Jennifer Vail.

The first quarter of 2024 marked a significant stride in Noria Corporation's commitment to advancing industrial knowledge across Europe. Our inaugural series of Lunch & Learn events took place in London, the greater Birmingham area, Edinburgh, and Dublin, educating and engaging professionals deeply in the critical areas of machinery lubrication and reliability.

In the ever-evolving landscape of machinery reliability, adaptation is key to success. As industries face supply constraints in the lithium market, the spotlight is increasingly shifting toward alternative lubrication technologies, with calcium sulfonate complex grease emerging as a frontrunner.

The role of tribology in the industrial sector cannot be overstated. As companies continue to seek ways to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs, the contributions of tribologists will be increasingly valued. By advancing our understanding and application of tribology, industries can look forward to robust and reliable machinery and also significant enhancements in performance.
