Industrial gear oil is a type of specialized lubricant that is used to protect and improve the performance of gearboxes and industrial gears in heavy machinery and equipment. These oils are used in industrial environments where gears work under high pressures and harsh conditions. The main features and applications of industrial gear oil include the following: Reducing friction and wear: Industrial gear oil helps to reduce wear and increase the useful life of gears and other moving components by reducing friction between gears. High pressure resistance: These oils have additives that increase their resistance to very high pressures, ideal for heavy industrial applications. Cooling property: Industrial gear oil helps to cool the gears and reduce the operating temperature, which prevents thermal stress and metal deformation. Protection against corrosion and rust: These oils protect the metal components of the gearbox against corrosion and rust. Resistance to water and pollution: industrial gear oil must be able to resist water and other environmental pollution. Compatibility with sealing and lubricating materials: These oils must be compatible with sealing materials and other lubricants used in gear systems. Industrial gear oils are produced in different types, including mineral, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils. The choice of oil type depends on the type of gearbox, operating conditions, ambient temperature, and equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
