What kind of oil should be added to an air compressor?
1 Answers
Air compressors require specialized air compressor oil. Below is a partial introduction to air compressor oil: Classification: Air compressor oil can be categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil. The lifespan of mineral oil is generally within 2000 hours, while synthetic oil lasts around 8000 hours. The former is significantly cheaper than the latter. Selection: It is advisable to choose air compressor oil with good extreme pressure resistance. For situations involving impact loads, reciprocating motion, or difficulty in forming an oil film, it is preferable to use grease or solid lubricants for compressor components. Centrifugal air compressor bearings are typically radial load bearings.
