This is a demo of the course on Essentials of Machinery Lubrication (MLT I/MLA I)

Learn About Industrial lubricants, machinery lubrication, contamination control, oil analysis and much more in this intensive self-paced training program


Essentials of Machinery Lubrication training is designed to provide lubrication analyst, condition monitoring experts and predictive maintenance specialist with a greater understanding of fundamental concepts of lubrication.

We recognized an industry-wide need to establish an effective blueprint for a best-practice-based lubrication program. Machinery Lubrication I (ML I) provides the essentials of proper lubricant application while instilling proven industry methods for selecting, storing, filtering and testing lubricants for improved machine reliability.

This training is divided into four modules:

Module 1 covers Basics of lubrication

Module 2 covers Basics of oil analysis and contamination control

Module 3 covers selection of lubricants for critical equipments

Module 4 covers lubrication management

The bundled course on Essentials of Machinery Lubrication covers all the four modules

Benefits:
Through ML I, you will move beyond the dated methods of vague, non-specific lubrication procedures to understand what to do and why there is a right way to do it.
By completing the course, you will leave ML I with a solid understanding of the crucial relationship between lubricant health and machine reliability, as well as understand how doing simple tasks or inspections right will significantly extend machine life and cut costs.
You will also gain better understanding of oil analysis, allowing you to align your efforts with those of maintenance professionals or oil analysis experts.
