About This Item
TS ISO 4378-3 is the lubrication-focused part of the plain bearings terminology series. It brings together the terms used for lubrication of plain bearings, their definitions and, where relevant, their classification, helping engineers, specifiers and technical writers use the same language when describing bearing systems, maintenance practices and design features.
What lubrication terminology helps distinguish
In plain bearings, lubrication is central to reducing friction and wear, separating sliding surfaces and helping carry heat away during operation. In general technical practice, it is useful to distinguish concepts such as boundary lubrication, mixed lubrication and full-film lubrication, as well as the related lubrication arrangements and conditions. This document supports that vocabulary by defining commonly used terms; it does not, from the supplied scope, impose a particular bearing design or prescribe a specific lubrication method.

- It provides definitions and classification for those terms.
- Short forms are given for some terms and combinations where they are unambiguous.
