Aircraft Lubricants and Aviation Lubrication Products
Business Aircraft Consumables supplies aircraft lubricants for aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul applications. Our selection includes aviation greases, oils, dry lubricants, corrosion-inhibiting lubricants, anti-seize compounds, and specialty lubricants from leading aerospace and industrial manufacturers.
The correct lubricant depends on the aircraft component, operating conditions, temperature range, material compatibility, and manufacturer requirements. Always verify the applicable aircraft or component maintenance documentation and approved specification before selecting a lubricant.
Aircraft Lubricants by Application
| Lubricant Type | Common Applications | What to Consider |
|---|---|---|
| Aircraft Grease | Bearings, landing gear components, hinges, actuators, and other moving components | Temperature range, load, water resistance, material compatibility, and approved specification |
| Aviation Oils | Engine, gearbox, turbine, and other components requiring a specified lubricating oil | Viscosity, operating temperature, formulation, and required aircraft or component specification |
| Dry Lubricants | Applications where a dry film is preferred or where conventional wet lubricants are unsuitable | Surface compatibility, operating temperature, friction requirements, and application method |
| Corrosion-Inhibiting Lubricants | Component protection, storage, maintenance, and applications requiring both lubrication and corrosion protection | Required level of corrosion protection, component compatibility, and manufacturer's recommendations |
| Anti-Seize Compounds | Threaded fasteners, fittings, plugs, and other assemblies where galling or seizure may be a concern | Temperature, material compatibility, galvanic considerations, and approved application |
| Specialty Lubricants | Specialized aircraft and maintenance applications requiring a specific lubricant formulation | Manufacturer approval, specification, application, and environmental conditions |
Aircraft Lubricant Manufacturers
BAC carries aviation lubricants from manufacturers used throughout aircraft maintenance and repair operations. Depending on the product, our selection may include Molykote, Royco, 3M, and other established aerospace and industrial lubricant manufacturers.
When selecting an aircraft lubricant, search by manufacturer part number or specification when available. If you are unsure which lubricant is appropriate for a particular application, consult the aircraft or component manufacturer's maintenance documentation before ordering.
