Life of Lubricated Machines
نویسنده
چکیده
Seventy to eighty five percent of failures and wear problems in lubricated machines are caused by oil contamination. Contaminants shorten the life of all machines, especially those with fine finishes and clearances operating at high speeds and temperatures. Examples are rolling and sliding bearings, gears, vane and piston hydraulic pumps, Maintaining clean oil provides the benefits listed in Table 1. Ryent research by bearing manufactures and NASA has shown that rolling element bearing fatigue life can be increased markedly by the use of super clean oil. The use of new, improved methods of removing contaminants from lubricating oil is recommended. This paper is a review of the effect of clean oil in industrial equipment.

Modelling lubricated revolute joints in multibody mechanical systems
This work deals with the modelling of lubricated revolute joints in multibody mechanical systems. In most machines and mechanisms, the joints are designed to operate with some lubricant fluid. The high pressures generated in the lubricant fluid act to keep the journal and the bearing apart. Moreover, the thin film formed by lubricant reduces friction and wear, provides load capacity and adds da...
متن کاملA randomized controlled trial comparing nonoxynol-9 lubricated condoms with silicone lubricated condoms for prophylaxis.
OBJECTIVE We tested the effect of nonoxynol-9 (N-9) in condom lubrication on the risk of acquiring STD and genital discomfort. METHODS The study was a triple masked, randomised controlled trial comparing N-9 lubricated condoms with plain silicone lubricated condoms among Dominican female sex workers. RESULTS Randomisation provided two groups (313 for N-9 and 322 for plain) similar in baseli...
متن کاملApplication of the method of multiple scales for nonlinear vibration analysis of mechanical systems with dry and lubricated clearance joints
In this study, the method of multiple scales is used to perform a nonlinear vibration analysis of a mechanical system in two cases; with dry and lubricated clearance joints. In the dry contact case, the Lankarani-Nikravesh model is used to represent the contact force between the joined bodies. The surface elasticity is modeled as a nonlinear spring-damper element. Primary resonance is discussed...

Solid lubricated bearings are common components in space mechanisms, and their reliability and performance degradation assessment are very crucial. In this study, a fuzzy self-organizing map method is used to perform performance degradation assessment. Feature vectors are constructed by indices of vibration as well as friction torque signal. Self-organizing map is then used to perform performan...
متن کاملMechanical Application of Lubricated Nano Porous Anodized Aluminium
Today a major environmental problem is global warming that is mainly caused due to exhaust and emission of gases. The only way to reduce their ill-effect is by improvement in fuel efficiency of I.C. engines, where most of the power is lost to overcome the friction. In this work, nanoporous anodized layer is formed on an aluminium substrate surface by anodization. Anodization was carried out at ...
