MRI machine lubrication

MRI machine lubrication
MRI scanners require special non-magnetic lubricants because conventional oils contain tiny metal particles that would be violently attracted to the powerful magnet. These specialized synthetic oils keep the patient bed sliding smoothly while being completely metal-free. Even trace amounts of iron in regular grease could become dangerous projectiles in the magnetic field. Engineers use specially formulated ceramic-based and polymer lubricants to keep these life-saving machines running safely.
