When people select Gear oils, there are many factors which come into play including the projected life of a gearbox, its seals and the desired performance of the gearbox within an application. Typically, end users rely on their OEMs to determine the best gear oil, so it is important for OEMs to value it as a machine element much in the same way that they value hardness of the gears, bearing selection, materials and so on.
Like all of other physical components of a gearbox, the right one will allow the gearbox to achieve optimum performance. As a result, end users will enjoy the benefits of lower wear rates, lower operating temperatures as well as greater energy efficiency.
Whether a gearbox is designed for use in a food manufacturing environment or in an industrial machine, the lubricant selected for use in the gearbox must be chosen for optimum performance under a specific set of operating conditions. Synthetics is a good choice. It is beneficial to use an H1 product because H1 synthetic gear oils are high-performance lubricant with the added benefit of being food-grade. Thus, they can be applied in both food and industrial environments. With regard to energy efficiency, some gear oils are more energy efficient than others due to their lower coefficient of friction. For example, polyglycols absolutely shine as the most efficient and lowest wear type of oils, particularly in high-sliding applications such as worm and hypoid gears. Synthetic oils are more energy efficient because they have better oxidation and thermal stability.
