When is the best time to use LIQUID BEARING products?
All manufactured items, from 747’s to televisions, will have a high Probability of Failure when switched on for the first time. As the component continues to operate, the Probability of Failure is reduced until the failure rate becomes stable. This time segment is known as the “wear-in” period and the best time to use LIQUID BEARING products is shortly after the wear-in period. The regular use of LIQUID BEARING products at this time will help to maintain this “as new” condition and ensure that maximum reliability is maintained over the service life of the unit. That being said, LIQUID BEARING products can be used at any time during the unit’s service life providing that the appropriate directions for the use of each product are followed. And although LIQUID BEARING products will help to improve the operating condition of any mechanical component, it should not be expected to make up for deficiencies in mechanical condition.
