Basic principles for the selection of open gear lubricants

The basic principle of selecting open gear lubricants: First, select the appropriate lubricant according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendation; secondly, the lubricant professional manufacturer recommends the appropriate lubricant according to the actual working conditions, that is, choose the lubricating oil independently; The main factors to consider are the type of lubrication equipment, load, speed, operating temperature, and other operating environments; select the lubricant of the corresponding variety and quality according to the type of equipment.
The selection of industrial open gear lubricants should also consider the open gear gear surface contact stress. Open gear transmissions such as large cement mills should consider the use of medium duty industrial open gear lubricants; open, with impact and water entering the lubrication system. Gear drives should consider the use of heavy duty industrial open gear lubricants.
The choice of industrial open gear lubricants should also be based on the open gear gear speed to select the viscosity of the open gear lubricant. The larger the gear size of the open gear, the higher the viscosity requirement of the lubricating oil; the faster the open gear operation speed, The lower the viscosity of the lubrication; the higher the operating temperature of the open gear, the higher the viscosity of the lubricant.
The type of open gear and the temperature used for the open gear should also be considered when selecting open gear lubricants.
Proper selection of good lubricants can do a good job of equipment lubrication, which can better control friction, reduce wear, keep equipment in good operating condition, extend equipment life, reduce equipment damage and failure, reduce maintenance costs and reduce energy consumption. To ensure the safe operation of the equipment, thereby improving the product quality and the full benefits of the equipment.
