Lubricant internal

Mechanical-flexing couplings It is important to follow the manufacturer s instructions for lubricating mechanical-flexing couplings, which must be lubricated internally. 

Lubricants can be classified as internal or external lubricants. Internal lubricants should be partially miscible with the polymer at processing temperatures (i.e., behave similar to a plasticiser), but phase separate at ordinary temperatures. Whereas plasticisers are completely miscible with the bulk polymer, lubricants have a limited solubility. 

Running clearances associated with components used to balance axial thrust or to serve as product-lubricated internal bearings may be the manufacturer s standard, provided these clearances are stated as exceptions to this International Standard (see 5.7.4) in the proposal and are approved by the purchaser. If the manufacturer s standard clearances are based on material combinations exhibiting superior wear characteristics, supporting data shall be included in the proposal. 

Lubricants have been classified as either internal or external. Typically, internal lubricants have meant materials that are compatible with PVC that promote flow. The difference between internal lubricants and plasticiser is that the internal lubricant is only soluble at high temperature whereas the plasticiser is soluble and functional at room temperature. External lubricants on the other hand, are said to be incompatible and come to the surface and create metal release. It is reported that there are two distinct types of external lubricants. Internal lubricant efficiency can be readily predicted by simple mathematical formula and that partial substitution of esters for paraffin allows the reduction of modifier or increased filler levels to achieve savings without loss of any physical properties.

Lubricants are used with polymers for two main needs external lubrication and internal lubrication. External lubrication reduces friction between the polymer and the extrusion hardware, such as on the internal flow surfaces of the die. For example, lubricants can help eliminate melt fracture of blown film by reducing stress on the polymer as it passes through the die. Additionally, die drool (or die lip buildup) has been reduced by the use of lubricants. Internal lubrication reduces the friction between flowing polymer molecules, effectively reducing melt viscosity. Use of internal lubricants can reduce the power consumption required for polymers that are difficult to process. Some common lubricants are metal stearates and paraffin waxes. 

Graphite is one of the oldest and the most widely used (due to its lower price compared to M0S2 or BN) solid lubricants. It is obtained both as a soft mineral and as a man-made (synthetic) product. Graphite powders are used as solid lubricants in three ways (1) in dry films, (2) as an additive in liquids (oils) or semisolids (greases), and (3) as a component of self-lubricating (internally lubricated) composites. A NIOSH web site [8] has listed a total of 55 synonyms for graphite.

Internal Lubricants. Internal lubricants are substances that have a good affinity to the polymer and reduce its viscosity in the melt state. Moreover, they reduce the heat produced by the action of the friction forces. They also affect...
