Introduction to Lubrication Engineering

Friction, wear, poor lubrication and failures cost the industry time and money. To overcome these problems, and to save on downtime and maintenance, it is essential for all personnel from top management right through to the lubricator on the factory floor, to be aware of how machinery and equipment can be maintained to ensure maximum efficient functioning. The "Lubrication Engineering" course has been successfully presented for some fifteen years to personnel involved with maintenance, and the SAIT now also offers a one day basic "Introduction to Lubrication Engineering" course. This course is based on selected modules of the current "Lubrication Engineering" course, but is presented on an introductory level.

Course Objectives:
To give participants an introduction to the practical understanding of lubrication engineering.

Who Should Attend?
The course is aimed at plant operators, buyers, artisans and apprentices, but will also benefit anyone requiring an introductory understanding of the operation and maintenance of industrial plant and machinery, or mining, trucking, transport and other lubricant related disciplines.
