lubrication technologies

Lubrication technology involves methods and materials used to reduce friction and wear between moving parts in machinery. Common lubricants include oils, greases, and solid films, which create a protective layer that minimizes direct contact and heat buildup. Advanced lubricants may incorporate additives to improve performance under extreme conditions, such as high pressure or temperature. Proper lubrication extends equipment life, improves efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs. Emerging technologies include synthetic lubricants, nano-lubricants, and lubrication systems that automatically monitor and adjust lubrication levels for optimal performance.
