WHEN DID YOU LAST THINK ABOUT YOUR GEAR BOXES?
From excavators, conveyors, and drilling rigs, to turbines, industrial mixers and milling machines, many industrial vehicles and machinery rely on gear boxes and transmissions to function.
Despite this, transmissions and gear boxes are often the most neglected components of heavy industrial equipment, often being run until failure, with common problems such as leaks being overlooked or accepted as an expectation. In reality, what can start as a small issue, such as a small leak, can escalate to a much larger issue – such as contamination and gear box damage, leading to unscheduled downtime and repairs.
Low quality transmission and gear oils are a common factor for businesses facing issues with gear box and transmission reliability.
Common problems faced:
- Leaking gear boxes: Low quality gear and transmission oils can cause seals to swell, shrink, or harden, leading to leaks. They often have poor seal compatibility and lack necessary additives to keep seals pliable and prevent degradation.
- Dry start wear: Low-quality oils often have poor flow properties at low temperatures, leading to inadequate lubrication and increased wear during start-up for industrial transmissions and gearboxes.
- Contamination: Low-quality transmission oils often lack necessary additives to prevent rust and corrosion, compounding with seal leaks which can accelerate gear and component damage.
- Reduced oil drain intervals: Poor quality gear and transmission oils can degrade quicker, requiring more frequent changes and equipment downtime. By continuing to use gear oils past necessary drain intervals, this can expose components to increased risk of wear and damage, leading to failure.
- Poor Shear Stability: Industrial gearboxes and transmissions are often subject to high and heavy loads, with gear oils experiencing high shear forces. By using poor-quality oils or those past necessary drain intervals, oils can lose their viscosity under these conditions, reducing their ability to protect gear surfaces and leading to increased wear.
