Proper lubrication helps in ensuring the smooth functioning of the equipment, especially with the heavy machines. The machine that contains rotating parts or moving parts needs proper lubrication in order to maintain their functioning. The friction is a prominent factor that contributes to reducing productivity in numerous ways, such as increasing the requirement of fuel, obliterating parts, and generating heat, and increasing the requirement of coolant. The use of industrial lubricants contributes to reducing the friction between the moving parts of a machine that results in improving productivity. The reduction in friction reduces the heat generated that, in turn, reduces the requirement of coolant and reduces the demand for energy to perform a particular task.

The use of proper lubrication also helps in reducing the amount of slip between the moving parts of a machine, and in this manner, it helps in reducing the energy demand in the control of the motion. It also helps in making a covering between the external environment and rotating parts of the machine. The factor of prevention of moisture and dust contributes to increasing the equipment life by reducing the chance of corrosion and oxidation of the metal. The prevention of corrosion and oxidation contributes to reducing the downtime due to maintenance and increasing the productivity of the company.

It also helps in reducing the amount of wear and the breaking of the equipment due to which the unpredicted downtime can be reduced to a great level. It also helps in improving the overall productivity by increasing the heat-carrying capacity of the equipment by transferring the heat to the outer environment and increasing its heat bearing capacity. In this manner, the use of industrial lubricants helps in increasing the overall productivity of a machine by reducing the friction, downtime, coolant, and maintenance required.
