Industrial lubricant is a kind of lubricating oil specially used in various mechanical equipment, its main role is to reduce friction, protect machinery and processed parts, and at the same time have the functions of cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering. The main components include base oils and additives, the type and amount of additives are adjusted according to the application.
Depending on the application needs and performance characteristics, there are several classifications of industrial lubricants. For example, hydraulic oil, gear oil, steam turbine oil, compressor oil, refrigeration oil, transformer oil, vacuum pump oil, bearing oil, metalworking oil (fluid), anti-rust oil, cylinder oil, heat treatment oil and heat transfer oil all belong to the category of industrial lubricants. In addition, there are greases made from lubricating oil as a base oil and thickeners.
The main factors to consider when selecting and using industrial lubricants include operating conditions such as viscosity, load, rotational speed and temperature. For example, in the working conditions where the medium speed, medium load and temperature are not too high, medium viscosity lubricants are usually used; Under the working conditions of high load, low speed and high temperature, it is necessary to choose high-viscosity lubricating oil or lubricating oil with extreme pressure anti-wear agent; Under the working conditions of low load, high speed and low temperature, low viscosity lubricating oil should be selected.
