Compressor Oils and Lubrication

Reducing friction is one of the main objectives of lubrication. However there are many other benefits of this process. Lubricating films can help prevent corrosion by protecting surfaces from water or other corrosive substances, as well as completing an air tight seal within the air compression unit of an air compressor.
 
They also play an important role in controlling contamination within systems. The lubricant works as a conduit, transporting contaminants to filters to be removed. Lubricating fluids also assist in temperature control by absorbing heat from surfaces and transferring it to a point of lower temperature where it can be dissipated.
 
Choosing the correct, quality oil lubricant for an air compressor is essential in maintaining the compressor longevity and maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of the oil. Use of a sub-standard air compressor oil or unsuitable oil for the type of compressor is inadvisable.
