Introductions of damping grease

Viscosity

It has a certain viscosity, which is the key to its damping effect. This viscosity can generate resistance when mechanical parts move, making the operation feel moderately blocked. For example, when you turn a knob with damping grease, it will not easily rotate quickly, but can rotate at a steady and controllable speed.

Stability

Under different environmental conditions, damping grease can maintain relatively stable physical properties. It is not easy to volatilize, ensuring that it continues to play a damping role during long-term use.

2. Composition

Base oil

It can be mineral oil or synthetic oil. Mineral oil is widely available and has a low cost; synthetic oil has better performance, such as being more stable in high and low temperature environments.

Thickener

Thickeners such as lithium soap and complex soap are used as thickeners. Thickeners can make damping grease have a suitable consistency to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

Additives

Contains antioxidants to prevent damping grease from being oxidized and deteriorated during use; and rust inhibitors to protect contacting metal parts from rust.

3. Function

Reduce wear

In addition to providing damping effect between mechanical moving parts, it also plays a lubricating role, reducing friction between parts, thereby extending the service life of parts.

Precise control

In some equipment that requires precise operation, such as instrument knobs, potentiometers, etc., damping grease allows users to adjust operations more accurately.
