As various industries constantly develop the performance of their devices to maximize efficiency and satisfy their customers further, they call upon different providers to give them increasingly effective alternatives. Among the best ways to achieve this target is to apply appropriate lubrication.
Deciding on a proper lube for a particular equipment can certainly be a tricky work. The reason is that industrial lubricants are available in different forms and formulations. On top of that, most industries have special rules and requirements with regards to the products they use. As a result, choosing the best lubricant for a variety of applications is critical.
Since ancient times, lubricant producers carry on with producing and formulating various kinds of lubricant products to meet the needs of various industrial applications. Generally, all lubricants are required to pass basic industry technical requirement which is to diminish friction and wear. They should be an effective agent in keeping machine parts from rust and dissipating temperature. Choosing the proper lubrication product also depends on the manufacturing processes and operating conditions in your plant, lubricant products are also expected to provide other functions. Choosing the right supplier is just as crucial as choosing an ideal lubrication product for your industry preferences.
One of the most important things that you should determine is whether the equipment needs lubrication for life or just at regular intervals. This information is essential in deciding whether you need special synthetic lubricant or a general purpose lubricant.
Synthetic oil is commonly used when the equipment needs to be lubricated for life. Generally, “lubricated for life” means that the equipment parts or components are expected to function for a certain number of cycles. Proper lubrication, of course, allows the component to exceed this projected life span by minimizing the wear of moving surfaces or components. On the other hand, if the equipment needs to be lubricated regularly, the use of synthetic or special lubricant which can last for a long period of time is not necessary.
