Ajay Manufacturing Company - Bench Vise & Lubricant Equipment

In many machines, including pumps, gear drives, and motors, lubrication plays a crucial role in maintaining the long-term reliability of these systems. Proper lubrication not only makes rotating parts run smoothly, but it also affects maintenance costs, machine life, and operating efficiency.   What is Abrasive Wear? Abrasive wear is a kind of surface degradation which is caused by the interaction between two contacting surfaces, where one or both surfaces can lead to continuous removal of material. This is commonly found in mechanical systems where rotating components come into contact with each other, leading to wear and friction.   What Causes Abrasive Wear? Various factors can lead to abrasive metal wear in mechanical systems. Here are some influencing factors: ·      Material properties Materials’ toughness and microstructure play a significant role in determining their chance of abrasive wear. Ductile materials are more prone to wear, ...
