Q

What statement is true concerning the lubrication of line shaft bearings?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical lubrication methods used for long horizontal shaft bearings in marine propulsion systems • How oil rings or discs work compared to wick, force-feed, or gravity systems • Why reliability and simplicity are important for line shaft bearing lubrication

💭 Think About

• Think about where line shaft bearings are located and how easy it is to run piping or pumps to them • Consider which lubrication system can operate reliably even if power or pumps fail • Ask which method can keep a film of oil on a slowly rotating, long shaft with minimal maintenance

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which lubrication method uses rotating rings or discs dipping into an oil bath • Confirm which methods (wick, force-feed, gravity) are more common on SMALL machinery or ACCESSIBLE bearings rather than long line shafts • Match the method that best suits MULTIPLE bearings along a long shaft tunnel with simple, automatic operation
