Tribotechnical solutions in manufacturing machinery involve the selection of proper lubricants. Porper lubrication decreases maintenance and wear by protecting machine components at friction points. The damage caused by improper lubrication is often severe. The proper lubricants for textile machines are usually commercial oils and greases based on mineral oils or synthetic oils. Important components of textile machines that must be protected by lubrication include conveyor chains, thread and winding guides, needles, sinkers, and roller bearings.
