Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication: Theory, Types & Practical Guide

What is Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL)? Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) describes a lubrication regime where high pressure causes significant elastic deformation of the contacting surfaces, deeply affecting the shape and thickness of the lubricating film. EHL is essential in many machine elements like rolling bearings, gears, and cams to reduce friction and wear. This article explains the […]
