Määrimises

Määrimises is a Finnish term that translates to "greasing" or "lubrication" in English. It refers to the process of applying a lubricant, such as oil or grease, to a surface or moving parts. This is done to reduce friction and wear between surfaces that are in contact with each other, especially during motion.

The primary purpose of määrimises is to facilitate smoother operation of machinery and equipment, extend their lifespan, and prevent damage caused by friction. Lubricants create a film between moving parts, which separates them and allows them to slide past each other with less resistance. This film also helps to dissipate heat generated by friction, preventing overheating and potential seizure of components.

Määrimises is a crucial aspect of maintenance in many industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and engineering. Proper lubrication schedules and the correct type of lubricant are essential for optimal performance and reliability. Without adequate lubrication, moving parts can quickly wear down, leading to increased noise, inefficiency, and eventual failure. The specific type of lubricant and the method of application depend on the nature of the equipment, the operating conditions, and the materials involved.
