Advances and Trends in Industrial Lubrication

Lubrication is critical in machines and equipment with moving parts, yet with so many factors to consider, it can quickly become overwhelming. One of the most crucial factors in maintaining the health and effectiveness of a machine is proper lubrication, which enables continuous machine operation. The ideal lubricant minimizes solid-to-solid contact and eliminates all friction levels that might restrict movement and cause wear. This article is intended to highlight lubrication trends in manufacturing industries. The objective is to provide an outline of trends in lubrication and its recent research advances in nano lubrication, sustainable lubrication, and energy-efficient lubrication.
