Lubrication is an important part of heavy machinery as well as automobile but what is its advantage is still unknown to a lot! Read further to know more about it.
Lube and what it is

Lubrication significantly reduces exposure to many causes of potentially costly equipment breakdowns and failures. Because properly lubricated equipment runs longer and more reliably, operations don’t need to be interrupted as frequently for maintenance and repairs. Lubrication equipment plays an important role in the normal operation of the industrial machinery and equipment.

Akkims India, prominent leader in lubrication pumps provides a complete range of performance proven Grease pumps. We provide World-class Industrial High Pressure Grease pumps with guaranteed performance & hassle free operation. These pumps automatically supply a small quantity of clean grease or oil to a lubrication point on a regular basis, thus improving bearing performance.

The right lubricant has to be supplied in the right quantity at the right time in the right quality to the right location. Particularly contamination during the transfer process, applying too much or too little lubricant and using the wrong lubricant for a lubrication point are common problems which can easily be prevented. These manual lubrication tools are specifically designed and selected to support these processes with a wide product portfolio for lubricant storage, handling, dosing, analyzing and applying lubricants. 

   
Benefits of lube
Reduce the friction coefficient:

Join between the two opposite friction surface lubricants, anti-friction layer to form a film can reduce the coefficient of friction, to feed the friction resistance, and reduce power consumption. Liquid friction conditions, for example, the friction coefficient can be as low as 0.001 or even lower. The friction resistance is the main internal molecules of the liquid lubricating film between the sliding low shear resistance. Reduction in friction will also lead to lesser damages of equipment.


Lowering the temperature:

Lubricant to reduce friction coefficient to support the generation of friction heat. We know that the operation of the machinery to overcome the friction between the work done, all transformed into heat, part of the outward diffusion from the body, part of the continuous mechanical temperature. The concentration of circulating lubrication system using liquid lubricants can take away the heat generated by friction, a cooling quasi-but, the mechanical control operation in the temperature range required.


To prevent the corrosion protection of metal surfaces:
Mechanical surface will inevitably have to contact and the surrounding medium (such as air, moisture, water vapor, corrosive gases and liquids, etc.) so that the machinery of the metal surface rust and corrosion damage. Especially in high temperature metallurgical factory workshop and chemical corrosion and wear is even more serious.


Clean the flushing effect:
Wear particles generated by the friction pair in the exercise or the foreign media will accelerate the friction surface and wear. The fluidity of the liquid lubricant, the friction surface between the abrasive away, thereby reducing the abrasive wear, pressure on the circulatory system, the flushing effect is more significant. Process lubricants in the process of cold-rolled, hot-rolled, as well as cutting, grinding, drawing, in addition to cool the cooling effect, there is good flushing effect to prevent the surface to complement the solid impurities scratch, so that the finished products (steel The) surface has good quality and surface roughness. Suspension dispersant additives such as the lubricating oil used in internal combustion engine cylinder, so that the oil generated in the gel and coke from washing down the cylinder wall, and make it fragmented into small particles suspended in oil, along with the circulating oil filter to keep the oil clean, reducing the wear of the cylinder to extend drain intervals.


Sealing effect:
Steam engines, compressors, internal combustion engine cylinder and piston, lubricating oil not only lubricates the friction reducing effect, but also enhance the effect of sealing operation, leakage, improve the efficiency of the role.


Conclusion
Grease plays a special role in the formation of sealed to prevent moisture or other dust, impurities immersed in the friction pair. Such as the use of oil-immersed with grease packing, head of the pump shaft seal both good lubrication, but also to prevent leakage and dust impurities immersed in the pump body and play a good seal.
In addition, the lubricating oil is there to reduce vibration and noise performance.
