Difference between Friction and Lubricant

Friction vs. Lubricant

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. A lubricant is a substance, usually organic, introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move.

Similarities between Friction and Lubricant

Friction and Lubricant have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acoustic lubrication, Ball bearing, Bearing (mechanical), Fluid bearing, Graphite, Polytetrafluoroethylene, Rolling-element bearing, Tribology, Viscosity, Wear.

Acoustic lubrication

Acoustic or sonic lubrication occurs when sound (measurable in a vacuum by placing a microphone on one element of the sliding system) permits vibration to introduce separation between the sliding faces.

Ball bearing

A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races.

Bearing (mechanical)

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts.

Fluid bearing

Fluid bearings are bearings in which the load is supported by a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas between the bearing surfaces.

Graphite

Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline allotrope of carbon, a semimetal, a native element mineral, and a form of coal.

Polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications.

Rolling-element bearing

A rolling-element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing, is a bearing which carries a load by placing rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) between two bearing rings called races.

Tribology

Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion.

Viscosity

The viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.
