Resumen

Lubricants are substances placed between two movable surfaces or a fixed and a movable one, forming a protective film whose main function is to reduce friction, wear, temperature and sealing of machine and motor components, and may also be a force transmission agent And movement. Therefore the objective of this work is to contribute to the construction of materials on the subject, aiming to analyze the types of lubricants, their characteristics, as well as the innovation in the sector. Thus, the applied methodology is mainly a literature review followed by an analysis. It should be noted that each type of lubricant is important for different types of equipment but is not yet in the state of the art and new technologies such as liquid crystal must be developed, which is highly efficient but still has a very high cost.
