This document provides an introduction to tribology and lubrication. It discusses that tribology is the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion, including friction, lubrication, and wear. The contents of lubrication are then outlined, including lubrication mechanisms, lubricants, lubrication systems, lubrication of rolling element bearings, elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication equations, and fluid film bearings. Examples of lubrication systems are also shown, such as a bearing casing in a centrifugal pump. References for further information on fluid film lubrication, rolling bearing lubrication, and rolling bearings catalogs are also provided.
