Major Functions of Gear Oil
Metal
Oil Film




Provide oil film between moving surfaces
Protect against metal contact
Reduce wear
Reduce friction

How Do Gear Oils Protect Equipment?
 Oil film can break down under the following
conditions:
 High load or extreme pressure (EP)
 High temperature
 Low viscosity to start
 Gear Lube Contains EP and Antiwear Additives
That Form a Protective Film on Metal Surfaces

Gear Oil Performance Levels
 R&O (Non-EP, Light Duty)
 AGMA 9005 R&O, API GL-1
 Industrial EP (Medium Duty)
 AGMA 9005 EP, US Steel 224
Global Lubricants

Gear Oil Additives
 All oils contain rust and corrosion inhibitors,
antioxidants, foam inhibitors, and pour point
depressants
 Industrial EP gear oils contain a moderate dose of
antiwear and antiscuff (EP) additives - may contain
demulsifiers

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Gear Oil
 OEM recommendation
 Type of gears
 Type of service (steady versus shock)
 EP performance level needed
 Viscosity grade
 Other issues:
 Drain interval
 Cost versus Benefit
 Supplier relationship
Global Lubricants

How to Select the Right Viscosity Grade
 OEM or Oil Supplier Recommendation
 AGMA 9005-E02, Annex B Guidelines
 Errichello Guideline
 v40 = 7000/(V)0.5
 v40 = cSt at 40°C; V = Pitch Line Velocity, Feet/Minute
 V = 0.262 *d*n, Where d = Pinion Pitch Diameter, Inches
and n = Pinion Speed, rpm
 Detailed engineering calculation

Which Gear Oil Should I Use?
 R&O Oils for mild loads, non-shock service. Good
for systems with copper alloys and high
temperatures.
 Industrial EP Gear Oils for nearly all enclosed,
stationary gearboxes containing spur, helical and
spiral bevel gears. Good for high loads and shock
service.

Meropa Performance Benefits
 Maintains Gear Set Efficiencies:
 High thermal stability EP system maintains clean gear and
bearing surfaces, minimizing deposits with high oxidation stability
 Extends Equipment Life:
 Effective EP System forms a protective film in areas of metal-to-
metal contact
 Good water separation and effective rust inhibitors
 Reduces formation of corrosive products that are corrosive to
metal components
 Long Oil Life:
 Oxidation inhibitors and copper passivators minimize oil
oxidation, limiting viscosity increase and extending oil drain
intervals
