Bearing Maintenance and Lubrication

INTRODUCTION Whenever wear and tear in the operation of plant and equipment is traced, it is often evident that lack of effective and appropriate lubrication and wrong application of bearings are largely responsible. This translates to high cost of maintenance, loss of production and avoidable cause of accidents among other undesirable harmful effects. OBJECTIVES

5. Select appropriate bearings for use
6. Install bearings
7. Trace bearing faults and recommend remedies
8. Identify causes of heat generation in rotating machine parts
9. List functions of lubrication
10. Identify appropriate methods of lubrication.
