Any machine's going to eventually fail due to natural chip destruction
(50 - 100 years?), but anything with a mechanical nature's probably
going to fail long before that.

Hi Jules
 All machines with bearings should be periodically
run to distribute the grease. If not, they will fail
sooner than one that isn't periodically exercised.
