Gearboxes – they transmit and translate energy, movements and forces. Their lubricant influences their performance and service life and thus the efficiency and safety of the connected units.
Our graduate engineer Rüdiger Krethe will introduce you to the practical basics of lubrication of industrial gearboxes, rolling and plain bearings, gearboxes in motor vehicles and lubrication of circulation systems. Operation-related changes in lubricants will be covered as well as wear mechanisms and typical gear damage.
You will learn in detail about the possibilities of lubricant analysis, which you can use to determine condition-dependent oil change intervals and reliably detect wear indicators. You can also find out how you can use online sensors and on-site measurements to monitor the oil condition and check for contamination and wear particles.
