Lubrication Fundamentals and Industry Best Practices

This course provides the fundamentals of lubrication and industry best practices necessary for understanding and achieving lubrication-enabled equipment reliability. The foundational principles of lubrication, friction and wear (tribology) are covered in this course.

In addition, the course presents the foundational knowledge for gears and bearings, which are universal elements in the design and application of machine components.

In this course, you will:

• Understand how lubricants work on machine elements and their impact on equipment availability and reliability.

• Learn the basics of grease, the most effective application method, and how to determine the optimum application amount and frequency.

• Learn the basic types of industrial gear and their application. With the use of 3D animations, you will see the inner workings of meshing gears and how lubricants play a vital role in maintaining or improving gear reliability.

• Understand the basic types of bearings and their inner working principles with the aid of 3D animation models.

• Understand the key elements and uses of oil analysis.

• Learn how to read and interpret engine oil licenses and quality symbols to make the right oil selection for your equipment.

• Learn how to identify gaps in your program and create a game plan for your next steps.

• Learn the basics of tribology ( the science behind lubrication, friction and wear) and how it applies to our daily life.

Who will benefit from this course: It is geared toward anyone in the following category:

• Lubrication specialist/engineer

• Reliability Manager/Engineer/Analyst

• Reliability Specialist/Advisor

• Sales Engineer/Manager

• Sales Consultant/Manager

• Machine lube Technician
