Different Types Of Lubricant

A lubricant's most common application is to reduce friction between two surfaces that are in contact with each other. Each lubricant is different; they come in many forms, including gas, liquid, semi-solids, and solids. They are used for a wide range of applications, depending on the additives used. The following are some examples of different types of lubricants.

  1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF LUBRICANT TYPES OF LUBRICANT DIFFERENT A lubricant is an organic substance used to reduce friction between two surfaces that are in contact with each other; it is done by ultimately reducing friction and the heat generated when the two surfaces move. GAS LUBRICANTS Gas Lubricants include (Air, Nitrogen, and Helium) that is often used in Gas- lubricated bearings though air is the most commonly employed. LIQUID LUBRICANTS Liquid oil lubrication- where Low viscosity oils have low fluid friction losses and hence results in low heat generation. The liquid can easily carry away heat. They have high boiling point and Low freezing point also have high resistance to oxidation and wear. They also comes with non-corrosive properties. SEMI-SOLID LUBRICANTS Lithium Greases are semi sold lubricants they are black or yellow sticky mass which is used in the bearings for lubrication purpose. It has unique properties which includes Resistance to water & can withstand harsh conditions, Important additives, Thickener and more. SOLID LUBRICANTS Graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide are examples of solid lubricants. Some retain their lubricity to very high temperatures. The use of some such materials is sometimes restricted by their poor resistance to oxidation. www.shieldoils.com +965 2326 0396
