As the inventor of the Linear Ball Bushing Bearing® and with over 60
years mechanical motion application experience, Thomson is uniquely
qualified to help answer these questions.
What IS the number one lubrication mistake? What is the difference
between weight and viscosity? Which lubricants best extend product life?
Which are best for food grade or submerged applications? What is the
best way to remove grease? This webinar will answer those questions and
more. Proper lubricant selection can significantly improve performance
and extend product life. This webinar will cover lubrication for Plain
