Despite significant advances in lubricants, lubrication systems, and condition monitoring techniques, lubrication-related failures remain a major cause of damage to bearings, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems. The most common causes include the use of unsuitable lubricants, incorrect lubricant quantities, contamination, inadequate lubricant condition monitoring, and insufficient personnel training. This paper presents the most frequent lubrication-related problems, their impact on equipment reliability, and the main preventive measures that can reduce wear, extend component service life, and improve maintenance efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords:<br \/><\/strong>lubrication, lubrication failures, lubrication systems, hydraulic systems<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyright (c) 2026 Milan Kambi\u010d<br \/><\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16131\" src=\"https:\/\/revija-ventil.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc-300x105.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/revija-ventil.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/revija-ventil.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc-400x141.png 400w, https:\/\/revija-ventil.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/cc.png 403w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This work is licensed under a<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Except where otherwise noted, articles in<br \/>this journal are published under the<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/revija-ventil.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/kambic-08-26.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download PDF&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Gumb Prenesi PDF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.8&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#00868a&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#00868a&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#xe0e8;||divi||400&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#00868a&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;on&#8221; prev_text=&#8221;Older entries&#8221; next_text=&#8221;Newer entries&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Navigacija po objavah&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.3&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; title_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_module=&#8221;11763&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; title_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; title_text_color__hover=&#8221;#212b31&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_sidebar orientation=&#8221;right&#8221; area=&#8221;et_pb_widget_area_4&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_module=&#8221;11764&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective lubrication is one of the key prerequisites for the reliable operation and long service life of industrial machinery and equipment.
