Because too much friction can damage the simple machines that make up the compound machine.

What happens when you reduce friction on a machine?
less wear
What simple machine reduces friction?
If I'm not mistaken, there is no machine that can reduce friction. The machine is intended to change the distance the input force is applied over or to multiply the output force. The moving parts of the machine will always increase friction. In order to reduce the extra friction (but not completely remove it), one would use a lubricant or reduce the roughness between two surfaces. Hope it helps.
What is one way you can reduce friction?
You can reduce friction by using lubrication, like grease for bearing, sewing machine oil etc.
Why grease is important?
To reduce the friction
What are two ways you can reduce friction in a machine?
A lubricant such as oil and ball bearings are just (2) methods of reducing friction.
How do you reduce the friction in a machine?
Oil it

What machine parts are used to reduce friction?
I think it would a lubricant not a part...

Why so helpful to reduce friction on simple machines?
Friction force oppose motion between two bodies that are in contact. This force is important in machines and pulley systems in that it enables the gears to have grip and there is no unnecessary sliding.
Why does friction reduce the mechanical advantage in machines?
Because some energy is expended in overcoming the friction and not applied to performing the task which the machine is meant to do.
Why is it important to reduce friction on moving parts of machinery?
Friction creates heat. Heat could melt machine parts if it becomes too high. That's why many machines use lubricants while they're drilling or shaping metal.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Does friction reduce efficiency of a machine?
When a machine is running at 100 % efficiency there is no loss of energy anywhere. That means the machine is running silently and if turned off will continue to run without stopping. In the real world there is sound and there is friction. Both sound and friction are examples of less than perfect efficiency
