Compressor type, use are key factors in developing effective lubrication strategies. From the blow-molded plastic water bottle used to quench thirst to the cement used to build infrastructure and the flour used to bake bread, the harnessed power of compressed gases or pneumatics touches everyone's daily lives. Pneumatics uses the least expensive transmission medium-air (or in some cases, separated or inert gases) and generally has lower installation costs. Transmitted air pressure is typically below 250 psi, makes it harder to detect and control gas leakage and is less efficient than hydraulic transmission of fluid power.
