In general, it’s best practice to monitor and analyze a piece of equipment on-site prior to suggesting any lubricant. Most manufacturers offer guidelines for lubricant selection but often fail to consider crucial elements. Most of the operational reliability of a gearbox not only depends on operating materials but also on selecting the right lubricants during the design phases as integral structural elements.
Aspects that play an essential role in selection:
Gearbox Type:
Dimensions, the metal used for teeth, sliding properties, gear ratio, open and closed casing,
Operating Circumstances:
Based on the load, vibration, and shock levels, anti-wear and extreme pressure properties.
Service Oil Temperature:
Very low, moderate (+20 degree Celsius and +80 degrees Celsius), hot (+80 degrees Celsius), and extreme (+120 degrees Celsius).
Machine environment and maintenance conditions.
Viscosity:
One of the most essential properties of green power gearbox oil.
Additives:
This decides the category and impacts particular performance properties under operating conditions.
