Which risk increases when lubricant temperatures decrease inside bearings?

💡 Explanation

Reduced bearing temperatures increase lubricant viscosity. The mechanism of hydrodynamic lubrication relies on the inverse relationship between temperature and viscosity because reduced temperatures increase viscosity to an extent that hydrodynamic film thickness deteriorates, therefore increasing wear rather than improving lubrication parameters.
