What Is [ Lubrication ] ?

Lubrication is something like any kind of material which can lubricate in between the metal surface, Either that surface can directly come into the contact or maybe there is a lubrication which will act in between the two mating surfaces.

 Definition- Lubrication is the process or technique employed to reduce friction between surfaces in proximity and moving relative to each other, by interposing a substance called a lubricant in between them.

* This is mainly intended to minimize the wear of one or both of the surfaces.

*When lubrication breaks down, components can rub destructively against each other, causing heat, local welding, destructive damage and failure.

The objective of Lubrication :

Lubrication is done to reduce 

• Wear and tear of surfaces.
• Maintenance cost.
• The heat from the bearing.
• Unsmooth relative motion
• Expansion of metal due to frictional heat.
• Power loss
