Gear oil is a liquid lubricant consumed in gears for decrease of resistance and wear of the gear tooth surfaces, elimination of the heat produced by the functioning gear and corrosion safety of the gear parts.
The subsequent properties of gear oils are imperative for their process:
Proper viscosity;
Capacity to endure extreme pressures;
Thermal and oxidation constancy;
Deterioration and corrosion protection;
Compatibility with seal products.
Gear oils should offer consistent, proficient (low friction), low cost of repairing operation of gears at altered speeds, temperatures, oil contagions.
Forms Of Gear Oils
Amalgamations of additives impart special functions to gear oils:
Rust and corrosion pre-emptive gear oils : Rust and corrosion pre-emptive oils are mostly mineral base. They comprise rust and corrosion inhibitors. The thickness of R&C oils in accordance to the ISO grading system is 32 to 320.
Compounded gear oils : Compounded oils are inorganic base. They comprise rust and oxidation inhibitors, demulsifies and up to 10% of greasy oils for better lubricity. Compounded oils are used mostly in warm gears. The thickness of compounded oils in accordance to the ISO grading system is 460 to 1000.
Extreme Pressure (EP) gear oils : EP oils may be either inorganic or artificial base. They comprise EP extracts, rust and corrosion inhibitors, anti-foaming proxies and demulsifies. The thickness of EP oils in accordance to the ISO grading system is 68 to 1500
Exsan's Brent Quality Lubricating - Gear Oil - Available in all types of Plastic and Metal packaging with desired shape, size, material weightage, design and brand name as per consignee's desire.
Gear oils are multipurpose Sulphur-Phosphorus based extreme pressure superior quality heavy duty gear oils. These have been specially formulated to meet severe duty operation in heavily loaded gear systems, such as hypoid, spiral bevel, worm gears, where an active GL-4 performance oils are required.
Todays gear-driven apparatus is deliberate to accomplish in several applications, often having to survive harsh environments. Typically, gearboxes are becoming smaller and are being made from agiler and more refined resources, yet they must be more long-lasting than ever before. As a magnitude, more demands are being engaged upon the gear oil lubricant and bigger deliberation must be given to the use of high-performance base liquids and additives.

Health and safety during the process
Subsidiary food contact approval HX-1 amended gearbox efficacy.
What You Require to Know When Picking Gear Oils
To select the best oil for a gear set, the subsequent principles must be addressed:
Viscosity Often stated as the utmost imperative possession of lubricating oil.
Additives The additive package used in the oil will define the lubricant's overall class and affects several main performance properties under operating circumstances.
Base Oil Type The kind of base oil used should be resolute by operative situations, gear type, and other issues
