To find out if the high-performance gear oils of today are ableto reliably protect gears and rolling bearings in gearboxes againstdamage also at a reduced oil temperature of 40 °C, differenthigh-performance gear oils were examined on a FZG back-to-back geartest rig as well as on a FE8 bearing test rig by modifying thestandardized test methods. It has been shown that the advancedadditive technologies used in today’s high-performance gear oilsare capable of inducing the required reactions on the surfaces ofgears and bearings also at 40 °C, thus providing reliable damageprotection even under these operating conditions.
