Active Control of Lubricant Temperature in Individual Bearings

Research project Active Control of Lubricant Temperature in Individual Bearings

Advanced lubrication

Electromechanical systems consist of multiple oil lubricated bearings. These bearings operate under different and varying conditions. However, a single oil circuit is used to lubricate multiple bearings. As a consequence, each individual bearing operates under suboptimal conditions leading to an increase in the total cost of ownership (TCO). Therefore, a system will be developed to actively control lubricant flow and temperature for each single bearing.
