Plant Engineering’s top 5 articles online about lubrication posted over the last year covered additives, open gear lubricants, machine bearing lubricants and more.
1. Additives and engine oil lubrication
Engine oils contain a complex blend of additives to minimize emission and aid efficiency.
2. Open gear lubricants’ slow, steady evolution
How do you lubricate a 120-ton gear the height of a four-story building that sits outdoors or in a dusty plant environment, while meeting safety, environmental and operating cost constraints?
3. Characteristics and test properties of rotating electrical machine bearing lubricants
Key considerations with greases and oils include their suitability for an application. Knowledge of lubricant characteristics and test properties helps ensure the correct selection for rotating electrical machine bearings.
4. Chain lubrication considerations for extreme conditions
Chain lubrication is useful for extreme applications for equipment or situations that are dangerous for humans to enter while in production and where speed, flexibility and friction reduction is needed.
5. Crude oil to base stocks to base oils to lubricating oils
The refining process has improved throughout the history of crude oil use, with base stock quality continuing to benefit from new technology.
