What is Mechanical Maintenance?

Mechanical maintenance refers to a range of tasks that are essential for keeping machinery operating at optimum efficiency and effectiveness.

These tasks range from:

  • Performing machine inspections
  • Servicing machines before any failure or breakdown occurs
  • Repairing machines back to full operation in the event of a breakdown
  • Periodically re-lubricating machines
  • Applying adhesives and sealants as necessary
  • Keeping equipment clean and free of incontaminants

It’s essential that manufacturers invest in mechanical maintenance in order to avoid unexpected downtimes, maintain a smooth and safe flow of operations, keep a high standard of customer satisfaction and improve profitability.

Mechanical Maintenance Applications

Mechanical maintenance applies to a range of machines and components, ranging from:

And any other mechanical machine used in an industrial setting.
