  • LUBRICATION OF MACHINE ELEMENTS

LUBRICATION OF MACHINE ELEMENTS

About this Course

The course provides foundations of lubrication of machine elements in various aspects. The course covers several key areas of lubrication study including lubrication regime, selection of lubrication, lubrication related problems, lubrication management system. Machine elements such as bearings, gears, cams, chains, and seals all have moving parts. In machine operations, the surfaces of the moving parts will rub against each other and sometimes lubrication is introduced to reduce friction. Through this course, emphasis is given to design aspects of this lubrication mechanism. This is to prepare students with knowledge and ability to solve engineering problems related to industrial lubrication.
