Introduction Industrial Gear oils are lubricants designed to protect gears, bearings, and seals in all types of enclosed gear drive with circulation or splash lubrication systems. High-quality Extreme pressure or mineral base oils perform well in most applications.Extreme pressure oils typically have higher pressure-viscosity coefficients than common synthetics, allowing for greater film thickness at a given operating viscosity. There are, however, situations where synthetic base oils are p …

Key TakeawayUnderstand Gear Types: Different gear systems (spur, helical, worm) require specific oil types based on load and operational speed.Viscosity Matters: Select gear oil with the correct viscosity to ensure optimal lubrication and performance, particularly under varying temperatures.Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives: For heavy-duty applications, gear oils with EP additives are crucial for protecting gears from wear under high loads.Thermal Stability: Ensure the oil has high thermal stabili …
