Lubrication Types
Lubricants serve different purposes in equipment. Choosing the right lubrication type is necessary to avoid
degradation of performance. In this section, we will discuss various types of lubricants and their purposes.
Mineral oil Used in rotary screw compressors and
reciprocating compressors
Synthetic oil Frequently used in high-performance machinery
as it lasts longer than mineral oil and is more
resistant to breakdown
Grease Used for machinery that operates at high
temperatures and heavy areas of load like
bearings in a wheel
Choosing the Right Lubricant
Depending on the type of equipment, choosing the right lubricant is critical. In this section, we discuss
variables that will help you choose the right lubricant for your equipment.
