Synopsis

Is your equipment quietly failing — one dry bearing at a time?

Most equipment failures are not sudden. They are slow, preventable, and almost always traced back to one thing: improper lubrication. If you manage machines, lead a maintenance team, or work on the shop floor, this book will change how you think about every grease fitting and oil port on your plant.

Lubrication: The Key to Machine Immortality is the only lubrication guide written for real maintenance professionals, not academics.

World-renowned maintenance expert and CMRP-certified trainer Joel Levitt, who has trained over 17,000 maintenance leaders across 39 countries, brings his signature style to one of maintenance's most overlooked fundamentals.

Inside, you will learn:

• The science of tribology, friction, wear, and lubrication explained so clearly you will wish you had this 10 years ago
• How to choose the right oil or grease for every application, every time
• The hidden dangers of both under-lubrication and over-lubrication, and how to spot them before failure hits
• Viscosity, additives, and contamination, the three variables that determine whether your equipment lives or dies
• How to build a lubrication program that actually gets followed on the shop floor
• Early warning signs of machine trouble your team is probably missing right now

Packed with real-world stories, humor, striking illustrations, and a format that works for technicians who do not have time to read a textbook, this is the book you hand a new maintenance hire on day one, and the book a 20-year veteran keeps in their toolbox.

Part of the Elements of Great Maintenance Management series

Used by maintenance and reliability teams in manufacturing, oil and gas, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and more.

If it moves — and you want it to keep moving — this book is not optional.

Perfect for: maintenance technicians, reliability engineers, plant managers, maintenance supervisors, and anyone building or improving an industrial lubrication program
