FAQs
What is the difference between oiling and lubricating?
A lubricant can be a fluid, solid, or semi-solid. Oil refers to a liquid lubricant with an oil base and additives. This is the most used type of lubricant.
Which is better oil or lubricant?
oil performs better in high temperature applications and those where there is high speed and extreme friction. Grease, on the other hand, works well in bearing applications that operate at moderate speeds where temperatures are not excessively high.
What are the two main types of lubrication?
Hydrodynamic lubrication occurs when two surfaces in sliding motion (relative to each other) are fully separated by a film of fluid. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication is similar but occurs when the surfaces are in a rolling motion (relative to each other).
