Lubricant Pakelo: conciliatory balancing acts

Redazione

An engine’s reliability depends largely on the quality of the lubricant working within it, particularly the viscosity level that develops when the unit operates for extended periods at full throttle and full load. However, viscosity also affects fuel consumption, so it’s essential to find the right balance between protecting the mechanics and reducing energy consumption The primary function of a lubricant within an engine is to separate the surfaces of interconnected mechanical components. Two examples of this are the pistons sliding within the cylinders and the bearings supporting the crankshafts,…

Exports of battery materials and technologies: Pechino imposes new restrictions

Redazione

China has imposed new restrictions on the export of materials and technologies related to cathode production, the essential components used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This protectionist move—officially justified as a measure to ensure the “sustainable development” of the domestic battery industry—adds another layer of control over the global supply chain of strategic materials Years ago, Beijing had fully opened its doors to Western companies eager to manufacture locally. Over time, however, China has gradually distanced itself from these partnerships—absorbing foreign technologies, replicating production models, and building up the industrial…

Pakelo, silent protagonist

Redazione

Once, choosing the necessary oil to ensure the functioning of a machine or engine was a relatively straightforward matter. The industry offering was limited, and outside of racing and competitive sports, the performance of the mechanical groups needing protection was modest. However, the technical evolution of machines and engines has slowly changed this reality, leading to a point today where lubrication and grease production is a true science in continuous development, causing fluids to specialize increasingly. Also customized and specific fluids “To succeed today in the lubrication sector,” states Alberto…
