Mechanical Function Lubricating Flashcards
adhesion
The phenomenon by which two surfaces tend to remain together in contact with each other without slipping
Force of friction
Another opposing face that resist the slipping movement
The greater the adhesion between two parts…
The greater the force of friction, the greater the adhesion
Five factors that affect, and
1) the type of a surface
2) presence of a lubricant
3) temperature of surface
4) state of surface
5) perpendicular force myself
The nature of surface
The types of/the kinds of surface used
- rough material= less adhesion
presence of a lubricant
- presence of lubricant Oil/cream=less adhesion
- no lubricant = more adhesion
temperature of surface
colder = Less adhesion
hotter= more adhesion
State of surface
How rough the surfaces are, or how smooth
- grooves scratches and dents= more adhesion
- sanded material smooth= less adhesion
perpendicular force
Weight = FG = Les opposite to force perpendicular
- weight= more adhesion
- no weight = less adhesion
three lubricant types
1) liquid
2) semi solid
3) solid
Liquid lubricant examples
Oil and water
Semi solid lubricant examples
Vaseline and butter
solid lubricant examples
Wax graffiti and powdered pencil lead
how to reduce friction
Lubrication and make smoother by sand or polish
