ENGT 233 Lubrication Systems

investigates the function of lubrication in mechanical systems. It also provides students with the skills to operate series/progressive and piston distributor central lubrication systems that are furnished with Lubriquip Maxi-Monitor controllers. Troubleshooting principles are covered in detail and primarily applied to lubrication systems; however, troubleshooting of other electro-mechanical systems is also discussed. Analysis of oil samples is undertaken to determine viscosity, metallic wear rates, level of degradation, and level of foreign substance contamination. Complex components, such as divider valves, are disassembled to give students a clear understanding of their operation. This course is applicable toward all certificates, AAS, ALS (credit hours 2.0, lecture hours 1.0, lab hours 2.0).
