Dry lubrication and dry lube film lubrication
Self-lubricating or dry lubrication coatings ensure extremely low coefficients of friction, even lower than that of ice.
What is dry lubrication used for in industry? What are self-lubricating coatings? To understand this, let’s start from a basic physical principle.
Dry lubrication: when is it needed and what advantages does it guarantee?
Physically, all moving bodies are subject to air friction. In industry, each mechanical component or gear in contact with another is in some way slowed down. Because of this, lubricants are used to reduce the force of friction.
As with other applications, lubrication techniques have gradually been perfected over time, guaranteeing increasingly high-performance results while enabling faster and more practical interventions. Above all, however, they respond to particular situations that prevent the use of ‘standard’ procedures. This is where dry lubrication comes in.
