The Working of Lubrication and Greasing

Lubrication is the process that is used to reduce the friction between two moving pieces as when the two surfaces come in contact with each other, they need a fluid for separation and the word greasing is used when the best heavy equipment grease is used to lubricate. The performance and function of the lubricant differ from one lubricant to another but they all have main component in common and it is all same that is base oil. Mainly, the lubricants contain 75% to 85% of the base oil that is of synthetic origin and these are used for: ·          Reducing the friction ·          Preventing the pieces from wear ·          Absorbing or reducing shocks ·          Protecting from corrosion ·          Isolating components from contamination ·          Cleaning or getting rid of contaminants Lubricants reduce the friction between the moving pieces and passive resistance of the stationary parts as they are produced by refining heavy fractions of crude oil and these are o
