Storage of open gear lubricants

2016/2/19

The selection of open gear lubricants is also subject to certain principles. The company's small series summarizes the simple points for you: First, determine the categories according to the particularity of the gear application, such as open gear lubricants, closed gear lubrication. Oil, worm gear lubricants, etc.; again determine the grade according to the tooth surface contact stress, such as anti-oxidation rust gear lubricants, heavy-duty industrial gear lubricants, etc.; determine the viscosity of gear lubricants according to factors such as gear line speed and operating temperature.
Special attention should be paid to the storage of open gears. The following small series summarizes some precautions and hopes to help you: open gear lubricants are acidic liquids, and can not be used to store alkaline substances (such as internal combustion engine lubricants). The container is filled, otherwise the additive in the open gear lubricant will decompose and precipitate. Open gear lubricants should not be stored for a long time (more than two years), otherwise the performance of the lubricants (extreme pressure anti-wear, anti-corrosion, anti-foam, anti-foam, etc.) will be reduced to varying degrees.
Open gear lubricants should not be stored in high temperature (above 40 °C). Extreme pressure agents such as extreme pressure agents in open gear lubricants are polar substances, which are easily decomposed by heat, which makes the open gear lubricants aging and the performance is reduced. . The open gear lubricating oil storage container should not be filled with water, and the extreme pressure agent can produce water-soluble acid and the like after hydrolysis, thereby reducing the extreme pressure performance.
