17
Q

Three types of lubrications for bearings?

A

Boundary, mixed-film, full-film.

18
Q

The load carrying ability of full film bearings increases with speed. True or false?

A

True. Full film bearings offer the least amount of friction and require less energy to rotate.

19
Q

How to get from boundary to full-film?

A

Improve- shaft finish
Increase- speed
Increase - viscosity of grease
Decrease - load

20
Q

How deep should the grove be on a self lubing bearing?

A

1/4 thickness of the wall of the bearing.

21
Q

What are two types of self lubing bearings?

A

Solid lubricant liners, lubrication plugs/filled grooves.
