- Lubrication 101: The 4 Types of Lubricants - Acoem USAThere are 4 types of lubricants: Oil, Grease, Penetrating Lubricants, and Dry Lubricants. The 2 most common lubricants you’ll be dealing with daily are oil and grease, however, your facility will still be using dry and penetrating lubricants.

- How lubricants work - Explain that StuffAt the bottom, we can see how a lubricant helps in two different ways: it smooths and cushions the bumps between the two surfaces (2). Also, because it's a liquid, it can easily change shape and flow. Ideally, it will flow in perfect layers, as shown here, in what's known as laminar flow.
- What Is Lubrication?- Definition, Role, and Types - Engineering ChoiceLubrication is the control of friction and wears by the introduction of a friction-reducing film between moving surfaces in contact. The lubricant used can be a fluid, solid, or plastic substance. Although this is a valid definition, it fails to realize all that lubrication actually achieves.
- Lubrication Basics | Machinery LubricationProper lubrication facilitates uninterrupted machine operation and is one of the most important aspects of machine health and efficiency. The most common industrial lubricants primarily consist of a base oil and are either mineral-based, synthetic, or vegetable-based.
