* * * * * * Lubrication Information * * * * * *

Lubrication Fundamentals: Boundary Lubrication, Lubrication and Lubricants, Hydrodynamic or Fluid Film Lubrication, Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubrication, Elastohydrodynamic (EHD) Lubrication
Gear Lubrication: When properly selected and applied, gear lubricants reduce friction and wear, help to prevent corrosion, reduce operating noise, improve heat transfer and facilitate removal of abrasive wear particles from the contact areas of the gear tooth surfaces.
Lubrication - Grease: Grease is used for lubrication of contact surfaces where it is not practical or convenient to use oil.
hydraulic_fluids: Hydraulic fluids are required to provide lubrication of contact surfaces within system components, sealing of equipment with tight clearances and removal of heat generated within the system. It must also protect system components against rust, oxidation and corrosion.
