How to find the right oil for the type of activity

Come si trova l’olio adatto per tipo di attività

Don't settle! Find the best oil for you!

Any mechanical system requires constant lubrication to maintain correct operation over time. The type and nature of the ideal lubricant differ according to the complexity of the system and use.

Each sector of use, be it artisanal or industrial, requires its own specific product, with specific characteristics and needs. But, regardless of the actual application, the common objectively is the same: to find the right oil to increase the efficiency and durability of mechanical systems.

For this to happen, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the characteristics of the oil you need, studying its characteristics right from the design stage. Only in this way will you be able to understand if it is the right oil for you, one capable of:

  • Keeping affected surfaces separate under all load, temperature and speed conditions
  • Minimising friction and wear
  • Cooling the surfaces avoiding overheating due to friction or caused by external sources
  • Guaranteeing performance for the entire useful life of the equipment
  • Protecting surfaces from residues and aggressive substances that can form during exercise
  • Having a good cleaning capacity

 

Evaluate all characteristics and find the right lubricating oil

Each type of protection, force and mechanical connection requires ad hoc lubrication and consequently, a specific product. In turn, each industrial or artisan sector has particular needs, which only specific lubricants can satisfy. This is why it is essential to choose the oil designed and manufactured for your business, both from a chemical and engineering point of view.

The many factors to consider before making your choice include:

  • Target device
  • Standard or synthetic formulation
  • Resistance to high and low temperatures
  • Compatibility with other materials (rubber, plastic, etc.)
  • Friction coefficient
  • Protection from oxidation
  • Suitability for use in food sectors
  • Flammability

Furthermore, the formulation of a lubricating oil contains base oils and additives, which together contribute to determining its behaviour in operation, both in terms of performance and in terms of duration. The quality of the final product then depends on the quality of the base oils.

 

How do you find the right oil for lubrication?

The evolution of the market and technologies used at an industrial level have led to design needs that require lubricant solutions created specifically for the customer. For this reason, it is increasingly not enough to simply buy "the best" on the market but is preferable to rely on specialists in customised solutions.

Here at Macon Research, we have looked ahead by adopting the customisation and versatility of the ADD-ON SMALL BATCH production system. Thanks to the versatility of our production and design technologies, we are able to create the ideal lubricating oil for your needs. An elastic and versatile production system, useful:

  • For the creation of totally new lubricants
  • And to correct the parameters of already existing solutions

... all according to your needs!
