👉 A resistance fluid, also known as a viscous fluid or lubricant with high viscosity, is designed to provide significant resistance to flow and friction when used in mechanical systems. These fluids are typically thick and non-Newtonian, meaning their viscosity changes with applied shear stress or shear rate. In hydraulic systems, resistance fluids like synthetic oils or specialized greases are crucial for maintaining pressure and ensuring smooth operation by minimizing energy loss due to friction. Their high viscosity helps in retaining lubrication over extended periods and under varying loads, making them indispensable for efficient and reliable mechanical performance.
