As machinery becomes more complex and production expectations rise, the choice of lubricant\u2014paired with disciplined monitoring, handling, and maintenance practices\u2014directly influences component performance, failure rates, and overall operational efficiency. The case studies in this session underscore how a strategic approach to lubrication can reduce unplanned downtime, extend asset life, and drive measurable improvements in total equipment

for equipment reliability. As a teenager, Saturdays were spent with his dad, greasing and changing oil on large cranes. Later, as a crane operator, he worked turnarounds in refineries, mines, and manufacturing plants. He received a Master\u2019s degree in engineering from BYU, and worked as an engineer for ExxonMobil. Drawing on this deep, firsthand experience, he founded Redlist in 2013, a software company that helps businesses keep their equipment reliable.<\/span><\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                            <div class=\"text-right\">\n                                                                                <button class=\"modal-close button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">Done<\/button>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                        <\/dialog>\n\n                                                                        <dialog id=\"day-1-1145-track-2-session-modal-5103-synopsis\"\n                                                                                class=\"modal speaker-synopsis-modal\"\n                                                                                data-speaker-id=\"5103\">\n                                                                            <button class=\"x-button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">\u00d7<\/button>\n\n                                                                            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                                                                                <span class=\"duplicated-speaker-deets\"><\/span>\n                                                                                <div class=\"speaker-synopsis\">\n                                                                                    <h3 class=\"mb1 mt1\">Optimizing Equipment Reliability with Lubrication Selection and Management\u00a0<\/h3>\n                                                                                                                                                                        <span>11:45 &#8211;

This session challenges maintenance and reliability leaders to consider whether any lubrication program can truly succeed without a properly trained and motivated staff of certified practitioners responsible for distributing, receiving, applying, and monitoring lubricants at their facilities. Through documented success stories, panelists will demonstrate that standardized certification of practitioners is an operational strategy not unlike the purchase of an insurance policy that safeguards expensive machinery assets while enabling repeatable, reliable, and scalable performance outcomes. This session will help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gain insights from real-world case studies that link practitioner training, lubrication certification, and ROI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand how certification-driven competency measurably elevates performance, partnerships, and profitability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn how culture change in lubrication management directly reduces operational risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n

We will review the methodology and output of the ASTM foam test methods and some modified bench top test methods to understand aeration profile of different lubricants. The presentation will emphasize how these different tests reveal the dual challenge of foaming: high initial foam volumes versus foam stabilization, the latter being a persistent issue driven by surface-active components like detergents, dispersants, and certain anti-wear additives.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n

In this session, the panel will outline how EPR is influencing packaging innovation, driving circularity initiatives, and redefining the operational expectations placed on stakeholders across the lubricant value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discussion Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Definition of EPR and how it shifts responsibility from consumers\/municipalities to producers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Differences between U.S. state-level programs vs. national EPR frameworks in other regions (e.g., EU, Canada).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current status: states with active or emerging packaging EPR and relevance to lubricant packaging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panel discussion on the implications for the supply chain&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <span class=\"duplicated-session-speakers\"><\/span>\n                                                                <\/div>\n\n                                                                <div class=\"text-right\">\n                                                                    <button class=\"modal-close button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">Done<\/button>\n                                                                <\/div>\n                                                            <\/dialog>\n                                                        <\/div>\n\n                                                        <div id=\"session-speakers-4986\"\n                                                             class=\"session-speakers duplicated-session-speakers \">\n\n                                                                                                                            <div class=\"speaker-wrapper custom-grid\">\n                                                                    \n                                                                        <div class=\"speaker-content\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"duplicated-speaker-deets\">\n                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"speaker-headshot speaker-logo flex-middle\">\n                                                                                        <div class=\"bio-bubble\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('day-2-1030-track-1-session-modal-4906').showModal()\"\n                                                                                                 class=\"open-session-modal cta-link-style cursor-pointer lazyload\"\n                                                                                                 data-speaker-id=\"4906\"\n                                                                                                 src=\"https:\/\/bearing-show.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=300,fit=scale-down\/https:\/\/firebasestorage.googleapis.com\/v0\/b\/ffair-live.appspot.com\/o\/tasks%2Fb3d62bff-5018-437a-ae8b-b9ceb5090ae7%2FTim%20Sullivan-NA50-Speaker%20Entry%20%5BHead%20Shot%20For%20Website%5D-1.jpg?alt=media&#038;token=cf9c6be4-97bb-460c-a734-4198e8921c38\"\n                                                                                                 alt=\"Tim Sullivan -

Lubricants (EALs) are governed by regulatory criteria that include biodegradability, aquatic toxicity limits, partition coefficients, and related compliance requirements. These elements are evaluated through laboratory testing that integrates physicochemical characterization with biological assessment.<br><br>Biodegradation and aquatic toxicity studies provide insight into environmental fate and ecological risk. Biodegradation testing can be tailored with selected microbial consortia to match relevant conditions or regulatory endpoints. Acute toxicity testing &#8211; commonly using algae, microorganisms, or Daphnia spp. &#8211; supports early hazard identification and compliance verification.<br><br>Physicochemical methods such as OECD 105 and OECD 117 provide essential data on formulation behavior, guiding refinement strategies for both performance and regulatory alignment. Although formulation work often begins with LuSC-compliant materials, emulsifiers and secondary additives may introduce compliance challenges. Identifying these early supports smoother certification and minimizes rework.<br><br>Understanding how physicochemical properties, biodegradation, and toxicity endpoints interact enables development of lubricants that meet EAL requirements while maintaining durability, regulatory compliance, and competitive market positioning.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                    <span class=\"duplicated-session-speakers\"><\/span>\n                                                                <\/div>\n\n                                                                <div class=\"text-right\">\n                                                                    <button class=\"modal-close button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">Done<\/button>\n                                                                <\/div>\n                                                            <\/dialog>\n                                                        <\/div>\n\n                                                        <div id=\"session-speakers-4987\"\n                                                             class=\"session-speakers duplicated-session-speakers \">\n\n                                                                                                                            <div class=\"speaker-wrapper custom-grid\">\n                                                                    \n                                                                        <div class=\"speaker-content\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"duplicated-speaker-deets\">\n                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"speaker-headshot speaker-logo flex-middle\">\n                                                                                        <div class=\"bio-bubble\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('day-2-1200-track-1-session-modal-4904').showModal()\"\n                                                                                                 class=\"open-session-modal cta-link-style cursor-pointer lazyload\"\n                                                                                                 data-speaker-id=\"4904\"\n                                                                                                 src=\"https:\/\/bearing-show.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=300,fit=scale-down\/https:\/\/firebasestorage.googleapis.com\/v0\/b\/ffair-live.appspot.com\/o\/tasks%2Fb3d62bff-5018-437a-ae8b-b9ceb5090ae7%2FDr.%20Donald%20Satchell-NA16-Speaker%20Entry%20%5BHead%20Shot%20For%20Website%5D-1.jpg?alt=media&#038;token=f0d8eae8-3011-4b6c-a4ba-c7b434d676fb\"\n                                                                                                 alt=\"Dr. Donald P.

It features a collaboration with Ford and BP Castrol on the FCVGen2.0 project, which is developing prototype hydrogen fuel cell\u2013powered Transit vehicles for small-scale fleet demonstrations supported by the UK\u2019s Advanced Propulsion Centre. A key outcome is an agent-based modeling tool that simulates logistics operations across BEV, ICE, and HFCEV powertrains, enabling a true like-for-like Total Cost of Ownership analysis by accounting for range, re-energizing needs, and fluid efficiency impacts. The presentation also examines lubricant challenges unique to Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines, including pre-ignition and water management, and outlines the rig and engine test methods developed with leading partners to inform effective formulation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n

No gears, no gear noise, and a mechanically simple architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally developed in the 1970s and 80s by NASA as a high-speed reduction system for gas-turbine automotive propulsion, this technology delivered remarkable speeds and ratios but faded with the end of turbine-vehicle programs. Now, as internal combustion engines give way to EDUs, traction drives are ideally positioned for a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n

Traditional prediction methods often overlook real-world factors like misalignment, preload, dynamic loads, and thermal effects. This session presents advanced simulation techniques\u2014combining system-level modelling, contact analysis, and time-domain dynamics\u2014to accurately predict bearing performance under realistic conditions. By using these tools, engineers can evaluate skidding risks, stress distribution, and fatigue life with precision, enabling smarter design decisions and reducing costly failures.

As the need to increase the thrust to weight ratio while also lowering the specific fuel consumption of an engine, main shaft speeds and gas temperatures have increased steadily through the years of jet engine design. This presentation highlights bearing architecture within an engine, high-speed design features, and lubrication strategies that allow bearings to operate in the extreme conditions within an engine. It also reviews advanced materials and surface technologies that enhance durability and meet stringent aerospace reliability standards. By integrating these innovations in the design, aerospace bearing systems can better achieve performance and reliability requirements in modern and future jet engine applications.<\/p>\n

The discussion will compare all\u2013ball bearing systems, mixed ball and cylindrical bearing arrangements, and tapered bearing configurations. It will examine load-dependent drag losses versus non-load-dependent losses, along with techniques for minimizing each. In addition, the session will review premium bearing features and highlight less obvious attributes that should be considered when downsizing bearings.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

of high-exposure technical roles across the industry. His career began with classic roller bearing training at NSK, where he built a strong foundation working on large industrial bearings, including ball, needle, cylindrical, spherical, and tapered bearings.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He later moved to JTEKT into an automotive-focused role, spending two years immersed in the study and application of tapered roller bearings on a daily basis. This deep specialization led to his recruitment by General Motors, where he served as the corporate bearing specialist, supporting critical engineering programs.<\/p>\n<p>After several highly impactful years at General Motors, Norm transitioned into his current position, where he has spent nearly nine years as a torque transfer manager, leading and supporting a team of talented engineers.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                            <div class=\"text-right\">\n                                                                                <button class=\"modal-close button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">Done<\/button>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                        <\/dialog>\n\n                                                                        <dialog id=\"day-3-1245-track-2-session-modal-4901-synopsis\"\n                                                                                class=\"modal speaker-synopsis-modal\"\n                                                                                data-speaker-id=\"4901\">\n                                                                            <button class=\"x-button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">\u00d7<\/button>\n\n                                                                            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                                                                                <span class=\"duplicated-speaker-deets\"><\/span>\n                                                                                <div class=\"speaker-synopsis\">\n                                                                                    <h3 class=\"mb1 mt1\">Optimizing EDM Architecture for Efficiency<\/h3>\n                                                                                                                                                                        <span>12:45 &#8211; 13:15 | Day 3<\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                            <div class=\"text-right\">\n                                                                                <button class=\"modal-close button\" aria-label=\"Close\" onclick=\"this.closest('dialog').close()\">Done<\/button>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                        <\/dialog>\n\n                                                                    \n                                                                        <div class=\"speaker-content\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"duplicated-speaker-deets\">\n                                                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"speaker-headshot speaker-logo flex-middle\">\n                                                                                        <div class=\"bio-bubble\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('day-3-1245-track-2-session-modal-4940').showModal()\"\n                                                                                                 class=\"open-session-modal cta-link-style cursor-pointer lazyload\"\n                                                                                                 data-speaker-id=\"4940\"\n                                                                                                 src=\"https:\/\/bearing-show.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=300,fit=scale-down\/https:\/\/firebasestorage.googleapis.com\/v0\/b\/ffair-live.appspot.com\/o\/tasks%2Fb3d62bff-5018-437a-ae8b-b9ceb5090ae7%2FSteven%20Chinitz-NA65-Speaker%20Entry%20%5BHead%20Shot%20For%20Website%5D-1.jpg?alt=media&#038;token=9103d922-c34b-4455-b7ed-09bb35cbfa8b\"\n                                                                                                 alt=\"Steven M.
