Advantages of Solid Lubrication

Lubrication Knowledge Menu

Some advantages of solid lubrication are:

(1) More effective than fluid lubricants at high loads and speeds.

(2) High resistance to deterioration in storage.

(3) Highly stable in extreme temperature, pressure, radiation, and reactive environments.

(4) Permit equipment to be lighter and simpler because lubrication distribution systems and seals are not required.
