Shop Heat Transfer FluidsCompressors are used in a wide variety of applications, sizes, and configurations. But one thing that is consistent is they all require lubrication to protect their moving parts. Peter is in the Red Brick Studio to help explain the different types of compressor oils and machines they are used in, and help you to identify which one is best for your application.
Shop Compressor OilsWay oils are designed to lubricate, reduce friction, and increase performance in slide ways in machine tools, otherwise referred to as linear bearings. Slide ways (or slideways) in machine tools require a displacement of friction to work properly. Large, heavy metal slide way machinery is subject to substantial friction, meaning the necessary force (and, thus, power) to move the machine is greatly increased. Improper lubrication of slide ways, or linear bearings, may lead to systems failure or costly downtime.

Shop Zinc Free Hydraulic OilLubricants expert Jim Lewis is back to explain what separates Food Grade lubricants from other hydraulic oils.
Shop Food Grade Hydraulic OilAnti-Wear Hydraulic Fluids (AW Hydraulic Oils) prevent wear in hydraulic systems and carry away heat and debris from system components. Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils are available in several viscosities as well as varying quality-levels (based on additive make-up). The variability of hydraulic systems unquestionably affects the many fluctuations in AW hydraulic oil quality and application.
Shop AW Hydraulic OilsHigh Viscosity Index (HVI) Hydraulic Oils are formulated to maintain their ideal viscosity, or thickness, over an extreme range of temperatures. HVI Hydraulic Oils achieve increased performance levels through the use of highly refined base oils which have less wax / paraffin content. They may also be enhanced by the addition of Viscosity Index Improvers; these additives change form and size to counteract the fluids natural tendency to thinning and thickening due to temperature change. High viscosity oils are also commonly used in electrical service bucket trucks due to their high dielectric strength which means they do not carry an electrical current well (this is a good thing).* Select the hydraulic fluids in this category if you require a hydraulic fluid with very High Viscosity Index properties.
