👉 The lock fluid, also known as lock oil or lock grease, is a specialized lubricant used in mechanical systems to ensure smooth and reliable operation of components that require tight sealing, such as hydraulic cylinders, valves, and gearboxes. It forms a protective film between moving parts, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing friction, wear, and heat generation. This fluid is typically a mixture of base oils, additives, and sometimes mineral or synthetic lubricants, formulated to withstand high pressures and temperatures while maintaining its protective properties over extended periods. Proper application of lock fluid is crucial for maintaining the integrity and longevity of critical mechanical parts.
