What kind of lubricant is generally used in gearboxes?

This post was last edited by Black gold on 2011-3-24 at 22:47. Generally, circulating oils with a viscosity of 150, 220, or 320 or higher are those that are most commonly used. Shanghai Pingyao Trade Co., Ltd. is the exclusive agent for CPI synthetic lubricants in the Chinese market. It is a professional company composed of a group of experts in synthetic oils and professionals in compressors. www.pingyiao.com Currently, it has one warehouse in the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone and another in the Putuo area, both of which are stocked with sufficient inventory to serve compressor manufacturers, sellers within China, as well as distributors in the petrochemical industry across various provinces and cities. The main markets include the following areas: ◆ Hydrocarbon gas compressor oil ◆ Refrigeration compressor oil ◆ Air compressor oil ◆ Compressor oil for refrigerators and freezers ◆ Oil for synthetic equipment ◆ Food-grade lubricants ◆ Food-grade low-temperature heat transfer oils ◆ Special oil for wind power gearbox gears

Gearboxes require gear oil! Do not substitute with other oils!

Gear oil is generally used, and as for the grade of this oil, it needs to be determined based on actual conditions. Sometimes the recommendations given by gear manufacturers may not be correct; one must decide based on their own operating conditions. The main thing is to control the oil temperature, as either too viscous or too thin oil can have an adverse effect on the gears.

Gear oil generally uses grades 220#, 320#, and 460#; the greater the load, the higher the viscosity grade. There are other models as well; it’s best to check the manual.

Gear oil is generally used in grades 220#, 320#, and 460#; the appropriate grade should be selected based on factors such as the type of gear transmission, speed, temperature, and operating conditions.
