This document discusses various types of mechanical maintenance including preventive, corrective, operational, and lubrication maintenance. Preventive maintenance aims to maximize equipment availability and minimize defects by addressing potential issues before they arise. Corrective maintenance repairs equipment after failures occur. Operational maintenance includes inspecting, cleaning, and minor adjustments. Regular lubrication is important as it can decrease early bearing failures and increase bearing life. Proper maintenance helps keep equipment safe, reliable, and productive while avoiding high costs of unexpected breakdowns.

4. What is
Maintenance?
&Why?
 Maintenance involves keeping the workplace, its structures,
equipment, machines, furniture and facilities in good repair and
operating efficiently and safely.
 It includes repairing, replacing, servicing, inspecting and testing.
 To keep premises, equipment, machines and the work environment
safe and reliable.
 Lack of maintenance or inadequate maintenance can lead to
dangerous situations, accidents and health problems.
 The actual cost for a breakdown is between four to fifteen times the
maintenance costs. When the breakdown causes production to stop,
the costs are very high because no parts are being produced.

5. Mech
Maintenance
Terms &
Definitions:
Mechanical MaintenanceTypes:
 Preventive maintenance:
It is to maximize equipment availability and minimize product
defects by taking care of the equipment before the problems
arise. Repair costs are often, but not always, higher than the cost
of preventive maintenance.
Failure Oriented Maintenance:
 Corrective maintenance: It is unscheduled maintenance to return
equipment to working state and carried out because maintenance
perceived deficiencies or failures.

6. Terms &
Definitions:
 Predictive maintenance:The use of modern measurement and
signal processing methods to accurately diagnose equipment
condition during operation.
 Maintenance concept: A statement of the overall concept of the
product specification that controls the type of maintenance action
to be employed for the item under consideration.
 Maintenance plan:A document that outlines the management
and technical procedure to be employed to maintain an item;
usually describes facilities, tools, schedules, and resources.
 Reliability:The probability that an item will perform its stated
function satisfactorily for the desired period when used per the
specified conditions.

7. Terms &
Definitions:
 Maintainability:The probability that a failed item will be restored
to adequately working condition.
 Active repair time:The component of downtime when repair
persons are active to effect a repair.
 Mean time to repair (MTTR):A figure of merit depending on item
maintainability equal to the mean item repair time. In the case of
exponentially distributed times to repair, MTTR is the reciprocal of
the repair rate.

8. Terms &
Definitions:
 Quality:The degree to which an item, function, or process
satisfies requirements of customer and user.
 Maintenance person:An individual who conducts preventive
maintenance and responds to a user’s service call to a repair
facility, and performs corrective maintenance on an item. Also
called custom engineer, service person, technician, field engineer,
mechanic, repair person, etc.
 Inspection:The qualitative observation of an item’s performance
or condition.

9. Preventive
Maintenance:
The costs of preventive maintenance include:
 Labour costs to plan and manage the schedule
 Labour costs to perform the maintenance
 Machine downtime while maintenance is performed: loss of
production and idled workers
 Cost of materials or supplies to perform the maintenance
The benefits of preventive maintenance include:
 Fewer unexpected outages caused by machine breakdown
 Avoiding high costs for repair
 Fewer defective products, leading to lower cost for rework
 Continued high standards for safety

10. Operational
Maintenance:
 It consists of inspecting, cleaning, servicing, preserving, lubricating,
and adjusting, as required.
 Its purpose is threefold:
 (1) to make the operator aware of the state of readiness of the
equipment;
 (2) to reduce the delays that would occur if a qualified technician had
to be called every time a simple adjustment were needed;
 (3) to release technicians for more complicated work
 Replacing worn out filters or cartridges, or removing and replacing a
worn belt, cutting tool, or grinding stone.

11. Corrective
Maintenance:
Activities undertaken to detect, isolate, and rectify a fault so that the
failed equipment, machine, or system can be restored to its normal
operable state.
 The main objective is to maximize the effectiveness of all critical plant
system, the elimination of breakdowns, unnecessary repair, & the
reduction of the deviations from optimum operating conditions.
 Performed after failure detection
 Its activities are planned & regularly taken out to keep plant's m/c &
equipment in optimum operating condition.

12. Zero Hours
Maintenance
(Overhaul):
Zero Hours Maintenance (Overhaul):The set of tasks whose goal is
to review the equipment at scheduled intervals before appearing
any failure, either when the reliability of the equipment has
decreased considerably so it is risky to make forecasts of
production capacity .This review is based on leaving the
equipment to zero hours of operation, that is, as if the equipment
were new.These reviews will replace or repair all items subject to
wear.The aim is to ensure, with high probability, a good working
time fixed in advance.

13. Periodic
maintenance
(Time Based
Maintenance
TBM):
Periodic maintenance (Time Based MaintenanceTBM): the basic
maintenance of equipment made by the users of it. It consists of a
series of elementary tasks (data collections, visual inspections,
cleaning, lubrication, retightening screws,…) for which no
extensive training is necessary, but perhaps only a brief training.
This type of maintenance is the based onTPM (Total Productive
Maintenance).

14. Maintenance
models
A. CORRECTIVE MODEL
This is the most basic model, and includes, in addition to visual
inspections and lubrication, the arising breakdowns repair. It is
applied, as we will see, to equipments with the lowest level of
criticality, whose faults are not a problem, economically or
technically. In this type of equipment is not profitable to devote
more resources and efforts.
B. CONDITIONAL MODEL
It includes the activities of the previous model, and also this
model carries out a series of tests that will determine a
subsequent action. If after testing we discovered an anomaly,
we will schedule an intervention; on the contrary, if everything
is correct, we will not act on the equipment.
This maintenance model is valid in equipment not to very used,
or for equipment that despite being important in the
production system the probability of failure is low.

15. Maintenance
Models
C. SYSTEMATIC MODELS:
 This model includes a set of tasks we will perform no matter what
is the condition of the equipment , also we will perform some
measurements and tests to decide whether to carry out other
tasks of greater magnitude, and finally, we will repair faults that
arise.
Examples:
1.The landing gear of an aircraft
2.The engine of an aircraft

16. High
Availability
Maintenance
Models:
 It is applied to that equipment that under no circumstances may
suffer a breakdown or malfunction.These are equipments to
whom are also required very high levels of availability, above 90%.
Examples of this model of maintenance may be:
 Rotating equipment working continuously
 Turbine of power production
 high temperature furnaces, where an intervention means cooling
and re-heating the furnace, resulting in energy expense and
production losses associated with it.
 Reactor deposits or reaction tanks not duplicated that are the
basis of production and to be kept in operation as many hours as
possible.

17. Legal
Maintenance:
Some of the equipment subjected to this type of maintenance are:
 Equipment and devices under pressure
 Installation of High and MediumVoltage
 CoolingTowers
 Certain lifts: service or people
 Vehicles
 Fire Prevention Facilities
 Storage tanks of certain chemicals

18. Lubricate
Bearing:
 Lubricated time to time in regular
intervals.
 Type and quality of lubricant be
judged.
 Decreases early bearing failures by
20-80% thus increasing life of
bearings.
 Bearing failing ratio without
lubrication and with lubrication is
20:1.
