When we talk about mechanical connections and movements, the common denominator is the lubrication of the components that concern them, with silicone oil or silicone grease, in order to operate correctly.
It can take place through an oily lubricant or a grease, it depends on the destination device and on other fundamental characteristics, which determine a unique and specific lubrication. In the case of lubricating oils, these are the characteristics that you must carefully consider before making your choice:
standard or synthetic formulation
compatibility with high temperatures or low temperatures
compatibility with other materials (rubber, plastic, etc.)
Coefficient of friction
protection from oxidation
compatibility with food
flammability
