Functions Of Lubricants

 

the main thing is lubricant forms an oil film on the surface of metals and converting solid friction into liquid friction to reduce friction.

they   reduced friction prevents heating and abrasion on the friction.

Oil will reduce the friction between two sliding surfaces by creating a protective film.  It also assists with heat dissipation by spreading out the heat in the system.

 

Functions of a Lubricant

• The primary function of a lubricant is to prevent friction by creating a boundary layer between two surfaces

• Dissipate heat from surfaces

• Transport contaminants to filters

• Protects from oxidization and corrosion

• Power transmission.

• There are about 6 basic functions of a lubricants

  ●     Lubrication - Provide a film between moving parts.

  ●     Cooling - Heat transfer.

  ●     Sealing - Filling in uneven surfaces.

  ●     Protection - From the corrosion and oxidation.

  ●     Cleaning - Keeping contaminants in suspension.

  ●     Damping and cushioning - Of components under higher stress.

  Here the main function is lubricants reduce thefriction,heat, and wear between the components which are contact with eachother in mechanical instruments.
