Which consequence results when lubricant temperature drops unexpectedly in precision bearings?

💡 Explanation

Increased lubricant viscosity results in more internal friction during shear, because a temperature drop increases cohesive forces within the fluid itself; therefore greater viscous drag and power loss occur, rather than enhanced load capacity or aeration, which relate to pressure or flow rates.
