Introduction to lubricants
A lubricant used to reduce the frictional resistance of the friction pair and slow the wear of the friction medium. The lubricant can also cool, clean and prevent contamination on the friction pair. In order to improve the lubricating properties, suitable additives can be added to certain lubricants. When selecting a lubricant, it is generally necessary to consider the movement of the friction pair, the material, the surface roughness, the working environment and working conditions, and the performance of the lubricant. In mechanical equipment, lubricants are mostly distributed to the parts that require lubrication through the lubrication system.
