Applied Tribology - Bearing Design and Lubrication

Applications of tribological technology in bearings are wide and varied in industries ranging from aerospace, marine and automotive to power, process, petrochemical and construction. This title covers tribology in bearings, and demonstrates the same principles for other machine components, such as piston pins, piston rings and hydrostatic lifts.
