What is machinery maintenance?
Machinery maintenance refers to all activities carried out to preserve equipment in proper working condition, prevent breakdowns, and extend the operational life of industrial machines. It includes inspections, cleaning, lubrication, component replacement, calibration, and performance testing.
What are the 4 types of maintenance?
The four primary types of maintenance are: (1) Preventative Maintenance—scheduled upkeep to prevent failures; (2) Corrective Maintenance—repairs made after a failure occurs; (3) Predictive Maintenance—data-driven servicing based on equipment condition; and (4) Condition-Based Maintenance—triggered by real-time monitoring of machine performance.
What are the 7 types of maintenance?
The seven types of maintenance are: Preventative, Corrective, Predictive, Condition-Based, Predetermined, Reactive (Run-to-Failure), and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Each approach varies in its timing, cost structure, and suitability depending on the criticality of the equipment and production environment.
