Gear oils are more preferred especially in cars. In the evenings inside your car, many metals come into contact with each other, causing friction and wear, as well as heating. Gear oils, on the other hand, help to protect the parts in contact with each other by reducing the heat by minimizing these frictions.
The best oil selection for any gear set should be chosen by considering certain criteria:
- Viscosity: It is usually the most important property of a lubricant.
- Additives: The additives in the lubricants indicate the general category of the lubricant. This feature also determines the working principles and performance of the lubricant.
- Base Oil Type: Especially the base oils for which gear oils will be used should be determined according to the operating condition, the characteristics of the gear and other factors that can be considered.
The following items should be considered in the selection of gear oils:
- In the selection of gear oil for industrial gear machines, factors such as product condition, operating condition, brand of oil should be taken into consideration.
- A correct oil selection provides an excellent lubrication for the product to be used.
- Base oils are one of the important properties that determine the structure and properties of gear oils.
