What is the difference between mechanical oil and hydraulic oil?
1 Answers
Mechanical oil and hydraulic oil differ in the following aspects: 1. Different compositions: Mechanical oil is processed from base oil, antioxidants, etc.; Hydraulic oil is processed from base oil, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, anti-foaming agents, etc. 2. Different uses: Mechanical oil is mainly used for lubrication in relatively precise equipment; Hydraulic oil is mainly used for transmitting hydraulic power in hydraulic equipment. Mechanical oil is obtained by dewaxing, solvent refining, and clay treatment of petroleum lubricating oil fractions. It is divided into high-speed mechanical oil and ordinary mechanical oil, which are used for lubrication of textile machinery spindles, ordinary machine tools, and other machinery, respectively. Hydraulic oil is a hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy. It plays roles in energy transmission, wear resistance, system lubrication, anti-corrosion, rust prevention, cooling, etc., within hydraulic systems.
