Lubrication is typically done with oil or grease, depending on the application:

- Oil bath lubrication for high loads or continuous operation
- Grease lubrication for low-maintenance or simple applications

Regular inspection and suitable lubricants significantly contribute to performance and service life. ZIMM recommends a coordinated lubrication strategy to ensure maximum operational safety.
