Intro to Tribology and Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication
Tribology is the science that studies the relationship between lubrication, friction, and wear. It is all about the lubricant film inside the bearing. The film that happens inside a roller element bearing, whatever the shape of the roller is, is referred to as Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication. Mina Soliman explains these terms more in depth.

Check Sheets- Something is Missing, I Think…
Have you ever completed an infrared survey and wondered if you’ve missed something that should have been inspected? Do you know the special safety instructions to open certain electrical cabinets? Has management ever asked you when was the last time that you’ve inspected a specific cabinet and you couldn’t answer them? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you need to develop a check sheet for the equipment that you inspect.
