- Title
Extreme pressure and antiwear additives in rolling bearing lubrication: EP and AW additives in rotary screw compressors improve the service life of bearings in moderate and higher load applications.

- Abstract
The article informs how the extreme pressure (EP) and antiwear (AW) lubricant additives are chemicals that react with metal surfaces, forming easily sheared thin layers that prevent wear and seizures. Topics include how use of EP and AW additives helps maintain long life of components, extends factory warranties and improves energy efficiency of compressors; and how there are several tests that might be used to select the right EP and AW additives, according to operating conditions.
