Lubrication of Gearing

Despite the enormous advances that have been made in the theoretical treatment of gear lubrication over the last thirty years or so, successful operation of gear sets remains highly dependent on empirical knowledge. Lubrication of Gearing encapsulates a body of such knowledge drawn from research studies and practical experience. This volume considers the lubricant not just as a functional element, but also as a design element. Gear lubricants are discussed and practical rules for the design, commissioning, maintenance, and operation of gear mechanisms are presented. Gearing and lubrication experts, as well as operations engineers, can thus become familiar with the tribological factors involved in gear lubrication. Particular attention is paid to the analysis and explanation of and prevention of damage to, gear mechanism. The concept, content, and level of Lubrication of Gearing, make it a valuable source of reference for research workers, design and development engineers, and lubricant technologies.American Society of Mechanical Engineers Staff is the author of 'Lubrication of Gearing ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780852988312 and ISBN 0852988311.
