In recent years gearbox technology has advanced and OriginalEquipment Manufacturers have required gear oils to meet thelubrication requirements of these new designs. Modern gearboxesoperate under severe conditions and maintain their reliability toensure end-user productivity. The latest generation of industrialgear lubricants can provide enhanced performance even under extremeoperating conditions for optimal reliability and reduced cost ofoperation. This paper describes how gear lubricants function ingearboxes and discusses the facts vs. myths of industrial gearlubricants. The paper will show how advanced gear lubricanttechnology can optimize the life of the gears, bearings and seals,resulting in reduced cost of operation. Opportunities to useadvanced synthetic gear lubricants to achieve operational benefitsin the areas of improved energy efficiency, wider operatingtemperature ranges, extended oil drain intervals and equipment lifewill be discussed.
