  2. Lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

    Beyond lubrication, greases are generally expected to provide corrosion protection, typically achieved through additives. To prevent drying out at higher temperatures, dry lubricants are also added. By selecting appropriate oils, thickeners, and additives, the properties of greases can be optimized for a wide range of applications.

  3. Lubrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubrication

    Lubrication mechanisms such as fluid-lubricated systems are designed so that the applied load is partially or completely carried by hydrodynamic or hydrostatic pressure, which reduces solid body interactions (and consequently friction and wear). Depending on the degree of surface separation, different lubrication regimes can be distinguished.

  4. Grease (lubricant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_(lubricant)

    In some cases, the lubrication and high viscosity of a grease are desired in situations where non-toxic, non-oil based materials are required. Carboxymethyl cellulose, or CMC, is one popular material used to create a water-based analog of greases. CMC serves to both thicken the solution and add a lubricating effect, and often silicone-based ...

  5. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    For parts that are inaccessible for lubrication after assembly, a dry film lubricant can be sprayed. After the solvent evaporates, the coating cures at room temperature to form a solid lubricant. Pastes are grease-like lubricants containing a high percentage of solid lubricants used for assembly and lubrication of highly loaded, slow-moving parts.

  6. Motor oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

    Their specially designed properties allow a wider temperature range at higher and lower temperatures and often include a lower pour point. With their improved viscosity index, synthetic oils need lower levels of viscosity index improvers, which are the oil components most vulnerable to thermal and mechanical degradation as the oil ages, and ...

  7. Synthetic oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_oil

    It provides better lubrication in extreme cold conditions. [25] The use of synthetic oils promises a longer engine life [25] with superior protection against "ash" and other deposit formation in engine hot spots (in particular in turbochargers and superchargers) for less oil burn-off and reduced chances of damaging oil passageway clogging. [24]

  8. Mineral oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_oil

    Mineral oils used for lubrication are known specifically as base oils. More generally, mineral oil is a transparent, colorless oil, composed mainly of alkanes [2] and cycloalkanes, related to petroleum jelly. It has a density of around 0.8–0.87 g/cm 3 (0.029–0.031 lb/cu in). [3]

  9. Automatic transmission fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid

    Overused ATF often has reduced lubrication properties and abrasive friction materials (from clutches and brake bands) suspended in it; failure to replace such fluid will accelerate transmission wear and could eventually ruin an otherwise healthy transmission.
