What are 2 different types of lubricant we use?
Oil
Grease
What are 2 different types of oils and greases?
Petroleum based
Synthetic
A type of lube used for high heat low speed applications
Dry lube
Oil is typically used for what type of speeds?
High-speed application
What is more easily retained in a housing?
Grease
A type of bearing that provide low friction motion on one plane
Linear bearing
A seal that fits tight around the shaft(typically creates more friction)
Contact seal
Seals preform what 2 basic functions?
Keep lubrication in and contamination out
Type of fitments
Interference fit, tapered fit, slip fit
Type of slip fit retention methods
Set screw, cam lock
A type of mounted bearing housing typically mounted perpendicular to the shaft(horizontal)
Pillow block
A type of mounted bearing housing typically mounted vertically
Flange cartridge block
2 types of pillow blocks
Split and solid
These types of bearing assemblies are used to adjust center distance between shafts or where belt tightening is required.
Take up unit
A type of bearing used to compensate for misalignment, commonly used in linkages.
Rod end bearing
