Event co-sponsored by the Tribology Group and the Aerospace Industries Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
IMPROVE EFFICIENCY THROUGH EFFECTIVE LUBRICATION
This course is based on over 45 years of practical experience of problem solving and trouble shooting on all types of industrial plant and equipment.
LUBRICANTS - SELECTION, PERFORMANCE AND FAILURE
It is now accepted that approximately 70% of all failures on plant and equipment are, in some way, related to poor lubrication practice.
The economic benefits on achieving optimum operating life and performance from plant and equipment can be dependent upon the correct choice of lubricants and methods of use.
This course will provide delegates with practical guidance on getting the best performance from lubricants with the emphasis on selecting the correct lubricant and solving lubrication problems which cause plant failures and reduce plant efficiency.
COURSE OUTLINE
Principles of Lubrication and Wear
How lubricants prevent wear
Types of lubrication
Factors affecting satisfactory lubrication
Properties and Performance of Lubricants
Types of lubricants
Viscosity
The effect of temperature and pressure on lubricants
Demulsibility (water separation)
Oxidation
Using simple oil test as an aid for trouble shooting
PREVENTING PROBLEMS IN LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEMS
Gear Lubrication and Failures
The reliability of gear based systems is dependent on effective lubrication. This session examines the mechanism of gear teeth in contact and relates it to the regimes of lubrication and the type of lubrication required to prevent wear and failure. Types of surface distress and gear tooth failure are examined and related to selection of the correct lubricant to prevent this happening. The different types of gear lubricants are discussed, including the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic lubricants. The lecture includes methods of viscosity selection with practical ‘hands-on’ examples.
Bearing Lubrication
For effective gear lubrication it is essential that the bearings are correctly lubricated since small amounts of bearing wear can result in gear tooth misalignment and wear. This session focuses on achieving improved bearing life through informed lubricant selection and application. It covers the different types of both plain and rolling bearings, the regimes of lubrication, lubricant requirements and methods of application. Guidance is given on selecting the correct type of lubricant, methods of viscosity calculation, and frequency of re-lubrication.
Total System Cleanliness
Clean and contaminant free lubricants are an essential requirement for effective lubrication. This session discusses the different types of contaminants, how they can affect the performance of the lubricant and the efficiency of plant and equipment. It also examines the different methods of filtration and types of filters, their classification and effectiveness and how the correct selection and use can increase both lubricant and component life and reduce maintenance down-time.
