Application and Maintenance, Second Edition
Tribology's original premier reference, the Handbook of Lubrication and Tribology, now in three volumes, continues to serve as the cornerstone of every tribology and lubrication science library, providing engineers, researchers, and technicians with the information they need to do their work and pioneer advancements that continue to shape this field.
Now, completely reorganized to aid readers in identifying topics of interest, Volume I Application and Maintenance, Second Edition, addresses the latest technology related to testing and maintenance procedures, as well as changes in our understanding of how lubrication principles impact implementation. Every one of the chapters retained from the first edition has either been fully updated or revised, or completely rewritten by a peer-recognized team of experts who are currently active in a wide variety of industry segments.
The Handbook of Lubrication and Tribology Volume I Application and Maintenance, Second Edition
Incorporates totally new information, as well as revisions of previous material, supported with additional reference tables and figures
Adds several new chapters that include coverage of biotribology, tribology of data storage devices, tribology of metal forming processes, and environmental implications of lubricants
Includes new international standards on safety, environmental protection, and waste treatment, cross-referenced for quick access
Addresses new information on applications in the microelectronics industry
Sponsored and copublished by the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), this revised edition of Volume I has been accepted for inclusion in the Body of Knowledge by STLE'??s Certified Lubrication Specialist Certification Committee. It provides an excellent reference for those preparing for STLEâ??s Certified Lubrication Specialist Certification examination.
In addition to the second edition of Volume I, the complete Handbook of Lubrication and Tribology includes Volume II Theory and Design, and Volume III Monitoring Materials, Synthetic Lubricants and Applications.

Excerpt: Perhaps the simplest of all available feedback tools used for greasing motor bearings is the pressure gauge. A pressure gauge mounted on the grease gun adds precision. In fact, if the technician is consistent with the rate volume, the back pressure on the bearing can be recorded and trended. It is a tell-tale sign that the bearing may be building up a mass of caked-up thickener and may be due for cleaning.
