Reducing Tribological Losses and Failures – Part 11 Workshop
STLE TORONTO SECTION
2021 Fall and 2022 Spring Program
Toronto Section Chair’s Welcome
On behalf of STLE Toronto Section, I would like to welcome you to our 2021-2022 program. Starting last year, STLE Toronto held several education webinars on-line and we will continue until we will have a safe environment for our attendees.
Our focus will be “cost savings” and / or “manufacturing cost reduction” based on better lubrication, better practices, and / or automated data gathering and processing. These helpful webinars will educate and empower attendees to contribute more to the company through these tough times.
I welcome you all on this program and hope to see you all there.

Program
Our technical program over the last few years was based on half day in-person workshops featuring 5-6 speakers. This worked well but with the current concerns about the Covid 19, we are adapting. A short survey determined that the most popular was a talk 30-45 minutes long, on one topic, and held mid-morning. We are also going with live video audio webinars which allows our participants to attend from wherever they are working and there is no time lost for travel. Plus, questions can be submitted in advance or during the presentations. As before we are focusing on technologies that can help save your company resources. This can be better as it might help tribological products last longer, save energy, reduce waste, and/or increase productivity. Win, win, win!
The STLE Toronto Section uses events like this to help spread the word and also to raise funds. These funds are used to support the section activities and to provide donations and assistance to local universities and colleges. No money raised goes to salaries or expenses.

Abstract:
The complex nature of machinery operating in the present day industrial environments requires the adoption of new and sophisticated maintenance practices that evolve to meet application requirements. Because equipment operation is in a large measure dependent on the quality of the hydraulic and lubricating fluids selected for the application, these fluids are becoming increasingly specialized and often tailored to work under very specific conditions. The last few years have witnessed a progressive shift towards more complex fluid chemistries both in terms of the chemical structure of the base stocks as well as additive package components. In response to these conditions, the equipment OEMs and the operators have began to turn increasingly towards more sophisticated condition monitoring tools and techniques that predominantly rely on the employment of on-line condition monitoring sensors.
