Key considerations when looking at employing grease

The following information is relevant when recommending grease for an application:

• What type of equipment needs lubrication (i.e. rotating bearing, non-rotating pin/bushing, two materials sliding on each other, etc.)?
• Environmental conditions (hot, cold, dusty, wet, etc.).
• If a rotating bearing, what is the rpm?
• Carrying loads (heavy, light, impacts).
• What does the equipment manufacturer recommend?
• What access is available for greasing?
• Is a long interval between greasing desired?
