Machinery Lubrication II
Managing your lubrication program with expert selection, storage design and contamination control
Machinery Lubrication II (ML II) explores lubricant properties, system design and troubleshooting lubricant failure. Building on ML I, ML II brings students to a level where they can apply their understanding of lubrication
Where ML I introduces students to causes of machine wear and lubricant damage, ML II prompts them to analyze machines for wear symptoms and select lubricants and additives to counteract or prevent damage.
By the time they complete the course, ML II students will be able to distinguish the appropriate lubricants and additives for every application in their workplace, guide in conducting basic maintenance and analyze machine/fluid indicators for potential problems. They will leave this class with concrete action items for improving their plant’s lubrication and good strategies for getting staff behind them.
