The main uses and functions of lubricating oil include reducing friction, cooling, cleaning, sealing, rust prevention, shock absorption, etc. These functions make lubricating oil of great significance in various mechanical equipment and human applications.
The specific functions of lubricating oil are as follows:
1. Lubrication: The main function of lubricating oil is to reduce friction and reduce wear. Applying lubricating oil between the moving parts of mechanical equipment can form an oil film so that the two contact surfaces are not in direct contact, thereby reducing friction and extending the service life of the equipment.
2. Cooling: Lubricating oil has good heat transfer performance and can effectively transfer heat between moving parts to prevent excessive temperature from causing damage or abnormality of parts.
3. Cleaning: The additives in lubricating oil can absorb impurities and dirt on the surface of moving parts, keep the equipment clean, and improve operating efficiency.
4. Sealing: Lubricating oil has certain adhesion and sealing properties, which can prevent pollutants from entering the interior of mechanical equipment and protect internal parts from corrosion and pollution.
