"The advantages of a silicone lubricant"
The silicone lubricating grease is one of the most used solutions in the design of mechanical devices, thanks to its versatility and to some incomparable characteristics: limiting friction at high temperatures, reducing noise and mechanical wear between plastics and rubber in contact .
These are just some of the many functions that silicone lubricating greases possess, and are the main reasons why these solutions are used in many industrial sectors:
Greases are used for the lubrication and protection of mechanical parts in place of lubricating oils, especially when there are space and sealing problems that do not allow for their use.
A lubricating grease is made up of different combinations of base oil, thickeners and additives, all functional elements to improve its performance and those of the kinematic mechanisms in which it is used.
A very versatile solution, easily applicable and with numerous advantages:
To determine which type of lubricating grease is the ideal choice for your application, you must have a clear understanding of the application context and working conditions such as speed, temperature, load, vibrations, humidity, dust, etc.
During the design phase it is important to take into consideration some characteristics of the various types of silicone lubricating grease:
To choose the correct lubricating grease, it is therefore essential to analyze your needs in depth, relating them to the precise characteristics of each solution.
