Lubrication
INTRODUCTION
• The object of lubrication is to reduce friction, wear, and heating of
machine parts that move relative to each other.
• A lubricant is any substance that, when inserted between the
moving surfaces accomplishes these purposes.
• In a sleeve bearing a shaft, or journal rotates oscillates within a
4/12/2020
• In a sleeve bearing a shaft, or journal rotates oscillates within a
sleeve, or bushing and the relative motion is sliding.
• In an antifriction bearing, the main relative motion is rolling.
• A follower may either roll or slide on the cam. Gear teeth mate with
each other by a combination of rolling or sliding. Piston slides within
their cylinders. All these application require lubrication to reduce
friction, wear and heating.

Hydrodynamic and Hydrostatic Lubrication
Hydrodynamic and Hydrostatic Lubrication
 Hydrodynamic Lubrication :- Formed the oil film by the relative movement of
the friction surface.
 Hydrostatic Lubrication :- Formed the oil film on the friction surface by the
external pressure oil.
Hydrodynamic lubrication means that the load carrying surfaces of the bearing
are separated by a relatively thick film of the lubricant, so as to prevent metal to

are separated by a relatively thick film of the lubricant, so as to prevent metal to
metal contact, and that the stability thus obtained can be explained by the laws
of fluid mechanics .
Hydrodynamic lubrication also called full film or fluid lubrication.
Hydrostatic lubrication is also obtained by introducing the lubricant, which is
sometimes air or water, into the load bearing area at a pressure high enough to
separate the surfaces with a relatively thick film of lubricant. So, unlike
Hydrodynamic lubrication, the kind of lubrication does not require motion of one
surface relative to other.

Lubrication Regimes
Lubrication Regimes
• Sliding friction is significantly reduced by an addition of a lubricant between
the rubbing surfaces.
• Engine bearings are lubricated by Engine oils constantly supplied in
sufficient amounts to the bearings surfaces.
• Lubricated friction is characterized by the presence of a thin film of the
4/12/2020
• Lubricated friction is characterized by the presence of a thin film of the
pressurized lubricant (squeeze film) between the surfaces of the bearing
and the journal.
• The ratio of the squeeze film (oil film) thickness h to the surface
roughness Ra determines the type of the lubrication regime:
4/12/2020
Boundary lubrication (h<Ra)
 A constant contact between the friction surfaces at high surface points
(microasperities) occurs at boundary lubrication.
 This regime is the most undesirable since it is characterized by high
coefficient of friction (energy loss), increased wear, possibility of seizure
between the bearing and journal materials , non-uniform distribution of the
bearing load (localized pressure peaks).
4/12/2020
 Very severe engine bearing failures are caused by boundary lubrication.
 Conditions for boundary lubrication are realized mainly at low speed friction
(engine start and shutdown) and high loads.
 Extreme pressure (EP) additives in the lubricant prevent seizure conditions
caused by direct metal-to-metal contact between the parts in the
boundary lubrication regime.
4/12/2020
Mixed lubrication (h~Ra)
 An intermittent contact between the friction surfaces at few high surface
points (microasperities) occurs at mixed lubrication.
 Mixed lubrication is the intermediate regime between
boundary lubrication and hydrodynamic friction.
4/12/2020
4/12/2020
Hydrodynamic lubrication (h»Ra)
• High rotation speed at relatively low bearing loads results in hydrodynamic
friction, which is characterized by stable squeeze film (oil film) between the
rubbing surfaces.
• No contact between the surfaces occurs in hydrodynamic lubrication.
• The squeeze film keeps the surfaces of the bearing and the shaft apart due
to the force called hydrodynamic lift generated by the lubricant squeezed
4/12/2020
to the force called hydrodynamic lift generated by the lubricant squeezed
through the convergent gap between the eccentric journal and bearing.
• Bearings working under the conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication are
called hydrodynamic journal bearings.

The three lubrication regimes are clearly distinguished in the Striebeck curve
(see the figure above), which demonstrates the relationship between the
coefficient of friction and the bearing parameter η*N/pav (η - dynamic viscosity
of the lubricant, N - rotation speed, pav - average bearing pressure).
Stability of different lubrication regimes may be explained by means of the
Striebeck curve:
Temperature increase due to heat generated by friction causes drop of the
lubricant viscosity and the bearing parameter.
4/12/2020
According to the Striebeck curve decrease of the bearing parameter in mixed
regime causes increase of the coefficient of friction followed by further
temperature rise and consequent increase of the coefficient of friction.
Thus mixed lubrication is unstable.
Increase of the bearing parameter due to temperature rise (lower viscosity) in
hydrodynamic regime of lubrication causes the coefficient of friction to drop with
consequent decrease of the temperature. The system corrects itself.
Thus hydrodynamic lubrication is stable.

Hydrodynamic Lubrication
A theoretical analysis of hydrodynamic lubrication was carried out by Osborne Reynolds.
The equations resulted from the analysis has served a basis for
designing hydrodynamically lubricated bearings.
The following assumptions were made by Reynolds in the analysis:
The lubricating fluid is Newtonian - the flow is laminar and the shear stress between the
flow layers is proportional to the velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the flow
(Newton’s law of viscosity):
Where:
4/12/2020
Where:
η – dynamic viscosity of oil,
v – linear velocity of the laminar layer,
y - the axis perpendicular to the flow direction.
The inertia forces resulted from from the accelerated movement of the flowing lubricant
are neglected.
The lubricating fluid is incompressible.
The pressure of the fluid p is constant in the direction perpendicular to the laminar
flow: dp/dy=0 (assumption of thin lubrication film).
The viscosity of the fluid is constant throughout the lubrication film.
Consider the equilibrium of a unit volume in the lubricant film.
4/12/2020
Hydrodynamic lubrication
• Also called fluid-film, thick-film, or flooded lubrication
• A thick film of lubricant is interposed between the surfaces
of bodies in relative motion
• There has to be pressure buildup in the film due to relative
motion of the surfaces
4/12/2020

motion of the surfaces
• Fluid friction is substituted for sliding friction
• Coefficient of friction is decreased
• Prevalent in journal and thrust bearings

•There is no pressure buildup in the fluid due to relative motion
•It remains constant throughout influenced only by the load

Hydrodynamic lubrication- characteristics
• Fluid film at the point of minimum thickness
decreases in thickness as the load increases
• Pressure within the fluid mass increases as the film
thickness decreases due to load
4/12/2020
4/12/2020
• Pressure within the fluid mass is greatest at some
point approaching minimum clearance and lowest
at the point of maximum clearance (due to
divergence)
• Viscosity increases as pressure increases (more
resistance to shear)
• Film thickness at the point of minimum clearance
increases with the use of more viscous fluids
• With same load, the pressure increases as the
viscosity of fluid increases
Hydrodynamic lubrication- characteristics

• With a given load and fluid, the thickness of the
film will increase as speed is increased
• Fluid friction increases as the viscosity of the
lubricant becomes greater
Hydrodynamic condition- Fluid velocity
• Fluid velocity depends on velocity of the
journal or rider
• Increase in relative velocity tends towards a
4/12/2020
4/12/2020
• Increase in relative velocity tends towards a
decrease in eccentricity of journal bearing
centers
• This is accompanied by greater minimum film
thickness
Hydrodynamic condition- Load
• Increase in load decreases minimum film thickness
• Also increases pressure within the film mass to
provide a counteracting force
4/12/2020
4/12/2020
• Pressure acts in all directions, hence it tends to
squeeze the oil out of the ends of the bearing
• Increase in pressure increases fluid viscosity

  • 3. Lubrication INTRODUCTION • The object of lubrication is to reduce friction, wear, and heating of machine parts that move relative to each other. • A lubricant is any substance that, when inserted between the moving surfaces accomplishes these purposes. • In a sleeve bearing a shaft, or journal rotates oscillates within a 4/12/2020 • In a sleeve bearing a shaft, or journal rotates oscillates within a sleeve, or bushing and the relative motion is sliding. • In an antifriction bearing, the main relative motion is rolling. • A follower may either roll or slide on the cam. Gear teeth mate with each other by a combination of rolling or sliding. Piston slides within their cylinders. All these application require lubrication to reduce friction, wear and heating. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SRINAGAR, J & K, INDIA
  • 4. Hydrodynamic and Hydrostatic Lubrication Hydrodynamic and Hydrostatic Lubrication  Hydrodynamic Lubrication :- Formed the oil film by the relative movement of the friction surface.  Hydrostatic Lubrication :- Formed the oil film on the friction surface by the external pressure oil. Hydrodynamic lubrication means that the load carrying surfaces of the bearing are separated by a relatively thick film of the lubricant, so as to prevent metal to 4/12/2020 4 are separated by a relatively thick film of the lubricant, so as to prevent metal to metal contact, and that the stability thus obtained can be explained by the laws of fluid mechanics . Hydrodynamic lubrication also called full film or fluid lubrication. Hydrostatic lubrication is also obtained by introducing the lubricant, which is sometimes air or water, into the load bearing area at a pressure high enough to separate the surfaces with a relatively thick film of lubricant. So, unlike Hydrodynamic lubrication, the kind of lubrication does not require motion of one surface relative to other. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SRINAGAR, J & K, INDIA
  • 5. Lubrication Regimes Lubrication Regimes • Sliding friction is significantly reduced by an addition of a lubricant between the rubbing surfaces. • Engine bearings are lubricated by Engine oils constantly supplied in sufficient amounts to the bearings surfaces. • Lubricated friction is characterized by the presence of a thin film of the 4/12/2020 • Lubricated friction is characterized by the presence of a thin film of the pressurized lubricant (squeeze film) between the surfaces of the bearing and the journal. • The ratio of the squeeze film (oil film) thickness h to the surface roughness Ra determines the type of the lubrication regime: 4/12/2020
  • 6. Boundary lubrication (h<Ra)  A constant contact between the friction surfaces at high surface points (microasperities) occurs at boundary lubrication.  This regime is the most undesirable since it is characterized by high coefficient of friction (energy loss), increased wear, possibility of seizure between the bearing and journal materials , non-uniform distribution of the bearing load (localized pressure peaks). 4/12/2020  Very severe engine bearing failures are caused by boundary lubrication.  Conditions for boundary lubrication are realized mainly at low speed friction (engine start and shutdown) and high loads.  Extreme pressure (EP) additives in the lubricant prevent seizure conditions caused by direct metal-to-metal contact between the parts in the boundary lubrication regime. 4/12/2020
  • 7. Mixed lubrication (h~Ra)  An intermittent contact between the friction surfaces at few high surface points (microasperities) occurs at mixed lubrication.  Mixed lubrication is the intermediate regime between boundary lubrication and hydrodynamic friction. 4/12/2020 4/12/2020
  • 8. Hydrodynamic lubrication (h»Ra) • High rotation speed at relatively low bearing loads results in hydrodynamic friction, which is characterized by stable squeeze film (oil film) between the rubbing surfaces. • No contact between the surfaces occurs in hydrodynamic lubrication. • The squeeze film keeps the surfaces of the bearing and the shaft apart due to the force called hydrodynamic lift generated by the lubricant squeezed 4/12/2020 to the force called hydrodynamic lift generated by the lubricant squeezed through the convergent gap between the eccentric journal and bearing. • Bearings working under the conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication are called hydrodynamic journal bearings. 4/12/2020
  • 10. The three lubrication regimes are clearly distinguished in the Striebeck curve (see the figure above), which demonstrates the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the bearing parameter η*N/pav (η - dynamic viscosity of the lubricant, N - rotation speed, pav - average bearing pressure). Stability of different lubrication regimes may be explained by means of the Striebeck curve: Temperature increase due to heat generated by friction causes drop of the lubricant viscosity and the bearing parameter. 4/12/2020 According to the Striebeck curve decrease of the bearing parameter in mixed regime causes increase of the coefficient of friction followed by further temperature rise and consequent increase of the coefficient of friction. Thus mixed lubrication is unstable. Increase of the bearing parameter due to temperature rise (lower viscosity) in hydrodynamic regime of lubrication causes the coefficient of friction to drop with consequent decrease of the temperature. The system corrects itself. Thus hydrodynamic lubrication is stable. 4/12/2020
  • 11. Hydrodynamic Lubrication A theoretical analysis of hydrodynamic lubrication was carried out by Osborne Reynolds. The equations resulted from the analysis has served a basis for designing hydrodynamically lubricated bearings. The following assumptions were made by Reynolds in the analysis: The lubricating fluid is Newtonian - the flow is laminar and the shear stress between the flow layers is proportional to the velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the flow (Newton’s law of viscosity): Where: 4/12/2020 Where: η – dynamic viscosity of oil, v – linear velocity of the laminar layer, y - the axis perpendicular to the flow direction. The inertia forces resulted from from the accelerated movement of the flowing lubricant are neglected. The lubricating fluid is incompressible. The pressure of the fluid p is constant in the direction perpendicular to the laminar flow: dp/dy=0 (assumption of thin lubrication film). The viscosity of the fluid is constant throughout the lubrication film. Consider the equilibrium of a unit volume in the lubricant film. 4/12/2020
