dry lubrication
Dry lubrication refers to the use of solid lubricants, such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide, to reduce friction between surfaces in contact. Unlike traditional liquid lubricants, dry lubricants do not attract dirt or dust, making them ideal for environments where cleanliness is essential. They can withstand high temperatures and pressures, providing effective lubrication without the risk of leakage.
This method is commonly used in various applications, including machinery, automotive components, and aerospace systems. Dry lubrication is particularly beneficial in situations where liquid lubricants may evaporate or degrade, ensuring consistent performance and longevity of the equipment.
