Disadvantages of Solid Lubrication

Lubrication Knowledge Menu | Products and Services Directory

(1) Poor self-healing properties. A broken solid film tends to shorten the useful life of the lubricant.

(2) Poor heat dissipation. This condition is especially true with polymers due to their low thermal conductivities.

(3) Higher coefficient of friction and wear than hydrodynamically lubricated bearings.

(4) Color associated with solids may be undesirable.
