Standard industrial gear lubricants with Sulfur and Phosphorus as EP additives do not actively combat wear.
Understanding Gear Failures and Limitations of Standard Lubricants
Under challenging operating conditions, issues like microcracks, micropitting, sharp edges, or pitting (material breakouts) can occur—leading to gear failure and production downtime.
Prolonging Gear Life with Anti-Micropitting Gear Oils
Anti-micropitting gear oils allow previously damaged gears to continue functioning—sometimes for several years—until a replacement is available. These oils have been developed through collaboration with gearbox manufacturers and research institutes, offering benefits like increased lifespan, improved safety, and cost savings.
Technology Behind High-Performance Gear Oils
New formulations, such as the Eutectic Formula, ensure optimal performance even under extreme loads and temperatures. These oils provide maximum wear protection, even under the toughest conditions like wind power generation.
What Causes Micropitting?
Factors such as oil film thickness, temperature, and slide-to-roll ratio contribute to micropitting. This wear appears as a dull, gray finish, caused by surface fatigue. It alters the gear tooth profile, creating noise, vibration, and misalignment.
Combating Oil Aging in Industrial Gearboxes
Oil aging accelerates with temperature—doubling with every 10°C rise. Anti-micropitting gear oils help reduce oil temperature and aging by using advanced additives with low friction coefficients.

OIL MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS PROFITABILITY
Profit is the only motive of any commercial organization, whether it be a Public Limited Company, a Partnership Company, or a Proprietorship Company. Profit is the result of producing an item or offering any service at the lowest cost and realizing the best sales price, as the market decides the usual price and is not in the hands of the company. Profit is the function of demand and supply. If a company has to exist, then it has to follow the market and only focus on reducing costs.

CHAIN LUBRICATION BEST PRACTICES FOR DRIVES AND CONVEYORS
A chain is a series of traveling journal bearings with a means to engage the teeth of a sprocket and transmit force and motion. Because each chain joint is a bearing, proper lubrication is essential to obtain the maximum service life from a chain drive or conveyor.

OH, SH#T! A LUBE TECH'S LESSONS LEARNED
The term “OH, SH#T” (or OS! as I'll refer to it from now on) usually means something bad has happened, but this isn't always true. Sometimes, it can come from something great happening, like finding a new, faster, easier, or more efficient way of performing a lubrication task.
