Lubrication Engineering and Technology

Lubrication Engineering and Technology provides a comprehensive understanding of lubrication principles used to improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability of mechanical equipment. The course introduces the fundamentals of friction, wear, and lubrication and their importance in engineering systems. Participants learn about different types of lubricants, including mineral oils, synthetic lubricants, greases, and specialty lubricants. It covers lubricant properties, selection criteria, viscosity, additives, and performance characteristics. The course explains lubrication methods and systems used in gears, bearings, engines, compressors, pumps, and other machinery. Participants learn about oil and grease lubrication systems, centralized lubrication, and automatic lubrication technologies. The course also introduces lubricant contamination, degradation, oxidation, and common lubrication-related failures. Practical concepts of lubricant storage, handling, filtration, sampling, and condition monitoring are discussed. Participants gain knowledge of lubrication schedules, preventive maintenance, and reliability-centered lubrication practices. The course helps engineers and maintenance professionals apply effective lubrication strategies to reduce wear, energy losses, downtime, and maintenance costs
