Lubricants

Prevent over-lubrication

We are all familiar with the consequences of insufficient lubrication: squeaking parts, excessive heat generation, jammed roller and plain bearings, and in the worst case, complete machine failure. The effects of excessive lubrication are less known, perhaps because they are not audible. But ultimately over-lubrication can also lead to complete shutdown, reduced com

Viscosity of lubricants: what is it and why is it important?

Viscosity refers to the degree of "thickness" or "stickiness" of a fluid. A lubricant with high viscosity is thicker and more viscous than one with lower viscosity. There are two types of viscosity: dynamic and kinematic viscosity. Dynamic viscosity is measured in millipascal-seconds (mPa·s) or centipoise (cP), while kinematic viscosity is expressed in square
