Types of Lubricants - TSV

Lubricants are essential substances that protect friction parts of machinery and support efficient operation. Major types of lubricants, including engine oil, gear oil, and grease, are finely classified according to their applications and properties. There are various types classified by base oil such as mineral oil, synthetic oil, and vegetable oil, by physical properties such as liquid and semi-solid, and by specialized oils for specific applications. Proper selection of lubricants significantly affects machinery lifespan and performance, contributing to overall industrial efficiency.
