laakeroida

Laakeroida is a Finnish verb used primarily in mechanical engineering and industrial maintenance. It means to perform maintenance on bearings, typically involving installing, replacing, or servicing bearings in a machine or mechanism. The term is formed from laakeri, meaning bearing, with the common verb-forming suffix -oida, and it appears in technical manuals and workplace speech.

Usage notes: Laakeroida is a technical term and is less common in everyday language. In everyday or broader contexts, speakers often use more explicit phrases such as asentaa laakerit (to install bearings) or vaihtaa laakerit (to replace bearings). In maintenance settings, you may encounter constructions like laakeroida laakerit or laakeroitava laakerijärjestelmä (the bearing system to be serviced).

Examples:

- Koneen laakerit on vaihdettava, ja ne on laakeroitava seuraavassa huoltotauossa.

- Huoltohenkilö laakeroi koneen laakerit ja tarkastaa laakerivälykset.
