reibungsbedingte

Reibungsbedingte, also known as friction-dependent, refers to a type of lubrication system that relies on the presence of friction to generate and maintain a lubricating film between moving parts. This system is commonly used in mechanical engineering and tribology, the study of friction, lubrication, and wear.

In reibungsbedingte lubrication, the lubricant is not continuously supplied to the moving parts; instead, it is generated through the friction between the surfaces. This process involves the breakdown of the lubricant molecules due to the heat generated by friction, which then forms a thin film that separates the surfaces and reduces wear and tear.

The effectiveness of reibungsbedingte lubrication depends on several factors, including the type of lubricant, the surface finish of the moving parts, the load and speed of the system, and the environment in which it operates. Proper maintenance and monitoring of these factors are crucial to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the lubrication system.

Reibungsbedingte lubrication is often used in applications where continuous lubricant supply is impractical or where the environment is harsh and would quickly degrade a continuously supplied lubricant. Examples include high-speed bearings, gearboxes, and certain types of seals. However, it is important to note that this type of lubrication may not be suitable for all applications, and careful consideration should be given to the specific requirements of the system.
