Lubrication is the lifeblood of any mechanical system. Whether it’s in industrial machinery, automotive engines, or household appliances, proper lubrication reduces friction, prevents wear and tear, and extends the lifespan of equipment. In this post, we’ll explore why lubrication matters, the types of lubricants available, and best practices for optimal performance.
Oils: Used in engines, gears, and hydraulic systems to minimize friction.
Greases: Thicker than oil, ideal for bearings, joints, and high-load applications.
Dry Lubricants (Graphite/PTFE): Used in extreme temperatures or environments where liquid lubricants would attract dirt.
Penetrating Lubricants: Great for loosening rusted or stuck parts, such as bolts and hinges.
