Why Using a Good Quality Lubricant Is Essential to Get Top Performance from Mechanical Devices

This interesting video clip does a very good job of explaining why mechanical devices are so dependent on a good quality lubricant and the benefits that adequate lubrication brings to the machines. Among the points made are that a good quality lubricant used in any mechanical device will:

  • Protect critical components
  • Provide reliable operation
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Decrease downtime
  • Increase equipment life

And also that an effective lubricant:

  • Reduces friction in engines
  • Controls friction in transmissions
  • Minimizes wear
  • Acts as a heat transfer agent
  • Inhibits corrosion and oxidization
  • Removes wear debris and other contaminants
  • Lessens the effect of temperature extremes on viscosity
  • Reduces noise

The video also explains friction and how a lubricant impacts on friction and efficiency. Watch it for a really good overview and understanding of why you should use a good quality lubricant to improve the performance of your mechanical devices.
