👉 The Basket Fluid, also known as Basket Oil or Basket Grease, is a thick, semi-solid lubricant used primarily in industrial machinery to prevent wear and tear on moving parts. It is typically composed of a base oil, often mineral or synthetic, combined with additives that enhance its properties. These additives can include anti-wear agents, extreme pressure agents, and viscosity modifiers, which help the fluid maintain its effectiveness across a wide range of temperatures and loads. The Basket Fluid forms a protective film between metal surfaces, reducing friction and minimizing the risk of damage or failure in equipment such as gears, bearings, and other mechanical components. Its unique formulation makes it particularly suitable for applications where traditional greases might fail due to high temperatures or heavy loads.
