Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities – Fourth Edition,
is a blueprint manual for any person, department, or corporation
wanting to acquire full practical knowledge in the field of
industrial lubrication study and application. For this all-new
fourth edition, the book has been extensively rewritten and updated
for improved clarity and understanding. The addition of color
tables, diagrams, and photographs serves to provide an improved
text that is comprehensive, meaningful, practical, and easier to
read. With the advent of the ISO 55001 asset management standard,
the ICML 55® world lubrication standard, and the rapidly rising
interest and professional certification of engineers and
maintenance/lubrication practitioners working in the field of
mechanized equipment assets, this book provides a one-stop
reference manual for individuals, departments and corporations who
wish to study/understand practical lubrication theory and its
real-world application within the industry. Furthermore, the book
is designed to deliver the basic building blocks required to
implement a practical and meaningful lubrication management program
that meets and exceeds the requirements set out in the
aforementioned ISO 55001 and ICML 55 standards, designed to truly
define "World Class."
With over 70 per cent of bearing failures attributed to ineffective
lubrication practices, no one involved in asset management can
afford to pass up this new edition! As a clear, concise, practical
introduction to the world of industrial lubrication, the second
edition dispels the myths surrounding lubrication and helps users
develop a keen sense and understanding of how lubrication directly
and indirectly impacts machine reliability, availability, and
ultimately, the bottom line. What's more, it provides readers with
practical advice that will allow them to put in place a viable
lubrication management program and effectively troubleshoot
lubrication related problems immediately, while offering essential
information required to significantly reduce equipment downtime and
increase life cycle management. It is a significant source that
provides vital information and practical methods not currently
taught in trade apprenticeship and engineering programs. Formatted
in an easy to read style, it clarifies the subject matter that is
often seen as a ""black art"", by dispelling its myths.It reviews
how bearing, lubricant, and lubrication system manufacturers
approach the world of lubrication in different ways, and how this
affects the reader. It delivers easy to understand lubricant
requirement calculations that are rarely disclosed by the
lubrication companies; and explains in a step-by-step process for
the first time, exactly how to consistently manually lubricate a
bearing. It describes how to write an effective Preventive
Maintenance job task in objective language to assure consistent
work completion every time; and explains how lubrication is the
cornerstone of perimeter based maintenance. It illustrates to the
reader why the grease gun is responsible for so many bearing
failures, and how the reader can dramatically increase bearing life
with just a few simple steps.
Written for maintenance managers and practitioners, Lubrication for Industry provides a fundamental understanding of how and why effective lubrication practices are an essential aspect of industrial equipment maintenance. The author focuses on the practical daily aspects of lubrication that impact productivity. Topics covered in detail include failure analysis, costing techniques, modes of friction, generations of lubricants, oil and grease classifications and evaluations (including animal/vegetable, mineral, and synthetic), viscosity and other oil and grease standards and characteristics, lubricant compatibility guidelines, how to calculate bearing and other lubrication requirements, preventive maintenance including wear particle analysis, and filter rating and classifications. The author draws on his consulting experiences to provide ten case studies that emphasize the importance of developing and implementing effective, long-term solutions for lubrication, maintenance engineering, and maintenance management.
