Assembly Lubricants
At Silmid, we stock a range of assembly lubricants from the likes of Molykote Skydrol, Henkel, Bonderite, and ROCOL. These lubricants are essential for assembling or rebuilding machinery to precise specifications and preventing dry starts. Improve performance and help mechanical devices last longer by putting them together with the right engine assembly lubricant. Many types of assembly lubricants are available for engines and machinery used in automobiles, planes, power generation, and similar fields.
What Is an Assembly Lubricant?
An assembly lubricant is often used to reduce resistance between moving parts in the assembly stages of engines and machinery. More specifically, they are ideal when assembling bearings, slides, camshafts, and gear systems. It contains additives that increase the tackiness so the lubricant will attach to parts, ensuring they don’t slide, rub, or otherwise create unnecessary friction.
Not only are these products useful during assembly, but they also provide extra protection-post construction by reducing engine friction and wear during the break-in period before oil pressure can build up. Assembly lubricants may offer adhesive qualities depending on the product formula. Other lubes dissolve into the running oil for a seamless transition to regular operation.
Premium Engine Assembly Lubricants
These products come in the form of fluids, pastes, greases, and aerosol sprays, allowing different application methods and blending rates to suit needs. Certain machine assembly lubes are formulated to offer properties such as extreme temperature and pressure resistance or rust prevention. There are also specialty assembly lubricants for hydraulic components and O-rings. Military organisations and contractors can find mil-spec assembly lubes that meet stringent requirements — and we can repackage these products upon request.
