» 4 points to note about Industrial Gear Oils

4 điểm cần lưu ý của dầu bánh răng công nghiệp

1. Contaminated oil, dust, solid particles

Reason

Affect

  • Inadequate filtering
  • Unqualified breathing apparatus
  • Incorrect cleaning equipment
  • Poor hygiene in operation
  • Fast wear
  • Clogged filter, clogged cooling unit
  • Consumes lubricant
  • Foaming, water separation effect
  • Reduced gearbox efficiency

 Solution: Mount the filter system (oil filter, dust filter) on the system.

 

2. Foamed gear oil

Reason

Affect

  • An unclean environment contaminates oil and causes foaming
  • Difficult to control oil level, easy to spill oil and cause oil consumption
  • Poor lubrication, increased noise levels
  • Damaged bearing and teeth
  • Vulnerable to microscopic pitting
  • Oxidized oil

Solution:

• Attach the filter to the airway

• New gear oil change is best

• Choose an oil with high foaming resistance

 

3. Gear oil is contaminated with water

Reason

Affect

  • Oil filling cap open
  • Cold water lines cause condensation
  • Cooling system water ingress
  • Discharge point unusable
  • The temperature difference causes condensation (inside overheating)
  • Poor water separation oil
  • Causing corrosion in systems and oil tanks
  • Teeth corroded, pitted, scratched & abraded
  • Damaged bearing causing machine jam
  • Reduced transmission efficiency

 Solution:

• Identify the cause and eliminate

• Drain the water before shipping, filter & dry

• Replace oil with high water separation capacity

 

4. High industrial gear oil working temperature

Reason

Affect

  • Machine works continuously
  • The machine temperature is too hot
  • High temperatures cause mineral oils, extreme pressure additives, and anti-wear additives to oxidize
  • Colloidalization and sludge (solid oil), color change
  • A clogged filter, causing circulatory problems
  • Reduced performance

Solution:

• Clean the oil tank

• Replace filter

• Replace bearing

• Change gear oil with high oxidation resistance
