Measuring Lubrication Film Thickness in
Rolling Element Bearings - Four Case Studies
An iPresentation by Lou Morando, SPM Instruments
Typically there are two options of maintenance
concerning rolling element bearings. One is to
re-lubricate them and other is to change them.
Monitoring rolling element bearing and
lubrication condition is paramount to ensure
reliability. The bearing and the machine are an
asset that must be managed and prolonging their
life will provide more contribution to the
bottom line profit. Preventing collateral damage
caused by bearing failure is true cost
avoidance. This 10 minute iPresentation includes
four case studies/applications that discuss
lubrication film thickness in rolling element
bearings.
