Effect of Lubrication on Gear Surface Distress
This document provides currently available infomration pertaining to oil lubrication of industrial gears for power transmissino applications.á It is intended to serve as a general guideline and source of information about gear oils, their properties, and their tribological behavior in gear contacts.á Equations provided allow the calculatino of specific film thickness and instantaneous contact (flash) temperature for gears in service, and to help assess the potential risk of surface distress (scuffing, micropitting and macropitting, and scoring) involved with a given lubricant choice.
