Antifriction bearings consist of 4 main parts
Outer ring or race which fits inside

housing.
Inner ring or race which fits on the shaft.

Balls or rollers arranged between the
surfaces of two races. These provide
rolling action between the races.
Cage which supports the balls or rollers

and keeps them separate from each other
at a fixed equal distance.
The bearing can have additional parts or

it may have only some
mentioned components.

Lubrication
What is Lubrication
Lubrication is the process, or technique employed to
reduce wear on surfaces in close proximity, and moving
relative to each another
Lubrication is effected by introducing a substance called
lubricant. The lubricant film can be a solid, (graphite), a
liquid, a semi solid (grease) or exceptionally a gas
What is Lubrication
Objectives of Lubrication
To reduce frictional resistance
To reduce wear on the bearing surfaces
To protect the bearing surfaces from corrosion
To carry away heat from the bearing
To reduce noise from the moving components of the machine
Different conditions of Lubrication

Hydrostatic lubrication
Types of Lubricants
Animal oils - From animal fats
Vegetable oils - From plant seeds
Mineral oils - Hydrocarbons obtained
from minerals
Synthetic oils - From various chemicals
Grease - Semi-fluid lubricant
Dry - Molybdenum disulphide, Graphite
Properties of Lubricants
Viscosity - Resistance of a liquid
to flow
Viscosity index
Flash point and pour point
Purity
Oiliness - Ability of the lubricant to
stay in place between the bearing
surfaces
Stability Retention of properties
as long as possible (Oxidization,
Biological degradation, Dilution)
Lubricant Additives
The properties of a lubricant can be improved by adding certain chemicals
Anti oxidants
Foam depressants
Corrosion inhibitors
Detergent Dispersers
Oiliness improvers
Anti wear additives
EP additives
VI stabilizers
Antifreeze agents
Pour point depressants
Selection of Lubricant
The selection of lubricant depend on:
Type of mechanism being lubricated

Type of lubricating system
Rate of heat removal
Cost
Speed factor ndm
Service temperature and pressure range
Design life
Acceptable relubrication time
Biodegradability
