NOTE

LUBRICATION SYSTEM II

A lubricating system is a mechanism or system designed to reduce friction and wear between moving parts by applying a lubricant, such as oil or grease, to the surfaces in contact. The primary function of a lubricating system is to create a thin film of lubricant between moving surfaces to minimize direct metal-to-metal contact and thereby reduce friction, heat, and wear.

Reasons for lubricating system

  1. Friction Reduction: Lubrication reduces friction between moving parts, which helps to minimize energy loss and wear.
  2. Wear Prevention: By forming a protective layer between surfaces, lubrication helps prevent wear and prolongs the lifespan of machine components.
  3. Heat Dissipation: Lubricants can help dissipate heat generated by friction, preventing overheating and potential damage to the machinery.
  4. Corrosion Prevention: Lubricants can provide a protective barrier against moisture and contaminants, helping to prevent corrosion and rusting of metal surfaces.

Uses of lubrication

  1. Automotive: Lubrication is essential for the proper functioning of engines, transmissions, and other mechanical components in vehicles.
  2. Industrial Machinery: Lubrication is crucial for various industrial machinery and equipment, including pumps, bearings, gears, and hydraulic systems.
  3. Aerospace: Lubrication is necessary for aircraft engines, landing gear systems, and other critical components to ensure safe and reliable operation.
  4. Household Appliances: Lubrication is used in various household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and power tools to reduce friction and improve performance.

Types of lubricants

  1. Liquid Lubricants: Examples include engine oils, hydraulic fluids, and transmission fluids. They are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
  2. Greases: Greases are semi-solid lubricants consisting of a base oil thickened with a soap or other thickening agent. They are used in applications where liquid lubricants are impractical or ineffective.
  3. Solid Lubricants: Solid lubricants, such as graphite and molybdenum disulfide, are used in extreme conditions where traditional lubricants may fail, such as high temperatures or vacuum environments.
  4. Dry Lubricants: Dry lubricants, such as PTFE (Teflon) coatings, provide lubrication without the need for a liquid or grease. They are often used in applications where cleanliness is important or where traditional lubricants may attract dirt and debris.

EVALUATION: 1. Define lubricating system

  1. Mention 4 reasons for lubrication
  2. Mention 4 uses of lubrication
  3. State 4 types of lubricants

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the students positively
