Väliainevoitelua
Väliainevoitelu, a Finnish term, translates to "interlayer lubrication" or "lubricant film lubrication" in English. It refers to a specific method of lubrication where a thin layer of lubricant is intentionally placed between two moving surfaces. This lubricant film acts as a barrier, preventing direct contact between the surfaces. The primary purpose of väliainevoitelu is to reduce friction and wear, thereby extending the lifespan of the components and improving the efficiency of the system.
This lubrication technique is commonly employed in various mechanical applications. Examples include the lubrication of bearings,
The concept is fundamental to tribology, the science of friction, wear, and lubrication. By maintaining a continuous
