Lubrication reduces friction, wear, and heat buildup in mechanical systems, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life. It is essential for linear motion components, gears, bearings, and other moving parts to maintain efficiency and prevent premature failure. Lubricants, available as oils or greases, protect against corrosion and contamination while improving load capacity and precision. Automated lubrication systems provide consistent application, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing reliability in industrial applications.
