Industrial Gear Oils offered by Olieonline with careful selection

To meet your application, the wide range of applications, and types of drives, Olieonline has compiled an extensive range of lubricating oils for you, including various gear and worm gear oils for your specific technical and operational conditions.

Why should I choose a globally recognized brand of gear oil instead of a local product?

Simple: it's performance you can rely on.

Globally recognized brands have a reputation to uphold. These industrial gear oils are developed in close consultation with customers and machine manufacturers, something a local 'producer' is too small for.

Gear oils from globally recognized brands are generally approved or recommended by many machine manufacturers, and their good performance has been proven in practice. The chances of your machines letting you down are minimized as a result.

What is the difference between mineral/conventional gear oil and synthetic gear oil?

For most industrial gearboxes, in most cases, mineral gear oil can be used. At high temperatures, synthetic gear lubricants may be needed for applications or for gears with a high degree of sliding. Synthetic gear oils are also used in hard-to-reach places because their lifespan is much higher.

The most important factor of synthetic transmission oils are polyalkylene glycols (PAGs), polyalphaolefins (PAOs), and Synthetic Esters.

What are the benefits of synthetic gear oil?

Performance Features and Benefits:

• + Excellent load-carrying capacity and micropitting performance, providing long component life
• + Excellent oxidation and thermal stability, extending the lubricant's life
• + Longer maintenance intervals
• + Superior lubrication performance improving gear efficiency
• + Excellent rust and corrosion protection of all metal surfaces
• + Rapid water drainage and air release
• + Pure, which is why PAOs are used in the food industry
• Biodegradable gear oil can be Synthetic Esters
  
  

In short, highly recommended for certain 'lubricated for life' systems.

What is the role of gear oil in a gear transmission?

The primary role of gear oil is to prevent wear between the tooth flanks. By selecting the right viscosity, no energy is wasted, and tooth flanks are separated from each other, preventing wear. Especially in shock loading, this film is not always sufficient, and that's why there are anti-wear additives to prevent wear or pitting in case of insufficient lubrication (for example, shock loading).

What are the trends or developments in gearboxes and reducers?

Gearboxes are forced to work under increasingly harsh conditions due to:

• The trend toward smaller gearboxes;
• Various settings and operating conditions; and
• Higher performance expectations (due to the demand for reduced downtime).
• This has led to increased operating temperatures, increased loads, and pressures.

In addition, some gears are exposed to increased exposure to water and other contaminants.

What are gears used for?

Gears play an essential role in many applications, ranging from small wheels used in delicate mechanisms to large-diameter gears in applications such as windmills/wind turbines.

Gears are used in almost every industry. Gearboxes are compact, deliver high forces at high speeds with great efficiency, and run smoothly without slipping. They must be precisely aligned and effectively lubricated and cooled.
