👉 Roller fluid is a specialized lubricant used in rolling element bearings, such as those found in gearboxes, pumps, and compressors. It serves to reduce friction between the moving parts of the bearing while also providing necessary lubrication and cooling. Composed primarily of a base oil, often synthetic or semi-synthetic, with additives to enhance its performance, roller fluid helps to maintain the bearing's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and reduce wear by managing heat and contaminants. The additives in roller fluid can include anti-wear agents, extreme pressure (EP) compounds, and viscosity modifiers, all of which contribute to its ability to perform effectively under varying operating conditions.
