👉 The buffer fluid, also known as the lubricating fluid or grease, is a crucial component in mechanical systems that serves to reduce friction and wear between moving parts. It acts as an intermediary layer, separating surfaces that come into contact and preventing direct metal-to-metal contact. This fluid is typically a viscous substance, often oil-based, that circulates within the system, providing continuous lubrication and heat dissipation. By minimizing friction, the buffer fluid extends the lifespan of mechanical components, enhances efficiency, and reduces energy consumption. In some applications, it may also serve additional purposes, such as sealing or cooling, depending on the specific design and requirements of the system.
