Predictive maintenance has gained wide acceptance as a cost cutting strategy and improve maintenance in modern industry. Condition monitoring by lubricant analysis is one of the basic tools of a predictive maintenance program along with vibration monitoring, performance monitoring and thermography. In many cases, it enables identification of a potential problem before a major repair is necessary and downtime during critical operations can be avoided.
In this paper we analyzed the used motor oil and its remaining resource in agricultural machines.
Keywords: oil analysis, failure, TBN, viscosity, maintenance, agricultural machinery
