There are many types of industrial lubricants, including common anti-wear hydraulic oil, heat transfer oil, gear oil, etc. Different industries and different equipment have different oil standards, so it is not easy to choose the right industrial lubricant. Bogao has compiled an exclusive industrial lubricant classification for you, which will give you a detailed understanding of the role, product classification and selection principles of industrial lubricants. It allows you to quickly and accurately locate the corresponding type of lubricant according to your own needs. It is recommended that you save it for reference in the future.
What is industrial lubricant?
Industrial lubricant is a lubricant specially used for industrial machinery and equipment. Its main function is to reduce friction and wear, reduce heat and energy loss of mechanical parts, thereby extending the service life of equipment, improving operating efficiency and ensuring the stability and reliability of industrial production.
Product classification of industrial lubricants
Although there are many varieties of industrial lubricants, they can be divided into nine categories according to their main classification and application occasions: hydraulic oil, gear oil, turbine oil, air compressor oil, vacuum pump oil, oil film bearing oil, heat transfer oil, chain oil, etc. It also includes other oils such as paper machine circulating oil, knitting machine oil, and ship engine oil.

● Hydraulic oil: mainly used in hydraulic transmission systems.
● Gear oil: mainly used in gear transmission equipment in industries such as cement, steel, and electricity.
● Turbine oil: mainly used in various turbine units, such as lubrication and cooling of sliding bearings of steam turbines.
● Air compressor oil: mainly used in various types of air compressors, such as screw air compressors and reciprocating air compressors.
● Vacuum pump oil: mainly used for lubrication, sealing and cooling of vacuum pumps.
● Oil film bearing oil: suitable for Morgan high-speed wire rolling mill circulation system.
● Heat transfer oil: used in closed or open indirect heat transfer systems.
● Chain oil: mainly used for chain transmission lubrication.
● Refrigerator oil: mainly used for lubricating refrigerators with low pour point and low freezing point.
Other oils: paper machine circulating oil, knitting machine oil, ship engine oil, medium-speed high-alkali engine oil, cylinder oil, system circulating oil, guide rail oil, spindle oil, diffusion pump oil, transformer oil, etc.
Selection principles of industrial lubricants
The basic performance and main selection principle of industrial lubricants are viscosity.
Principle 1: Under medium speed, medium load and not too high temperature conditions, use medium viscosity lubricants;
Principle 2: Under high load, low speed and high temperature conditions, use high viscosity lubricants or lubricants with extreme pressure anti-wear agents;
Principle 3: Under low load, high speed and low temperature conditions, use low viscosity lubricants;
Principle 4: Under wide temperature range or extremely low temperature, long oil change cycle, and other special requirements, use synthetic lubricants.
The role of industrial lubricants in various industries
Lubricants are liquid lubricants used on various types of machinery to reduce friction, protect machinery or for machining. They mainly play the role of lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering.
The general requirements for lubricants are: reduce friction and wear, reduce friction resistance to save energy, reduce wear to extend the life of machinery, and improve economic benefits.
◆ Cooling, requiring friction heat to be discharged from the machine at any time;
◆ Sealing, requiring leakage prevention, dust prevention, and air cross-talk prevention;
◆ Corrosion and rust prevention, protecting the surface of equipment components from rust and corrosion;
◆ Clean flushing, requiring the cleaning and removal of friction surface scale;
◆ Stress dispersion and buffering, dispersing loads and buffering impact and shock absorption;
◆ Kinetic energy transmission, hydraulic systems and remote control motors and friction stepless transmissions, etc.
Industrial lubricants are used by various industrial enterprises, involving many product varieties and large usage. Whether good cooperation can be established is closely related to product prices, product quality and technical services.
