LUBRICANT-COOLANT-LUBRICATION-FITTER ONLINE NOTE
LUBRICANT-COOLANT-LUBRICATION i)- With the movement of two mating parts of the machine, heat is generated. ii)- If it is not controlled the temperature may rise resulting in total damage of the mating parts. iii)- Therefore a film of cooling medium with high viscocity is applied between the mating parts which is known as a ‘ lubricant ’. iv)- A ‘ lubricant ’ is a substance having an oily property is available. v)- The property available in the form of fluid, semi-fluid, or solid state. vi)- lubricant is the lifeblood of the machine. vii)- It is keeping the vital parts in perfect condition and prolonging the life of the machine. viii)- It saves the machine and its parts from corrosion, wear and tear, and it minimizes friction. Purposes of using lubricants:- 1)- Reduces friction. 2)- Prevents wear. 3)- Prevents adhesion. 4)- Aids in distributing the load. 5)- Cools the moving elements. 6)- Prevents corrosion. 7)- Improves machine efficiency.
