This document provides currently available informationpertaining to oil lubrication of industrial gears for powertransmission applications. It is intended to serve as a generalguideline and source of information about gear oils, theirproperties, and their tribological behavior in gear contacts.Equations provided allow the calculation of specific film thicknessand instantaneous contact (flash) temperature for gears in service,and to help assess the potential risk of surface distress(scuffing, micropitting and macropitting, and scoring) involvedwith a given lubricant choice.
