What is the model number of heavy-duty industrial gear oil?
3 Answers
The model number of heavy-duty industrial gear oil is GL-5, 800W-90. Below is an introduction to the model number of heavy-duty industrial gear oil: 1. Introduction: Heavy-duty industrial gear oil is suitable for the lubrication of various industrial gears using circulating or splash lubrication methods. It is particularly suitable for gear lubrication under medium to heavy-duty or impact load conditions, such as the gear parts of various industrial equipment in metallurgy, chemical fiber, coal mining, fertilizer, and cement industries. 2.

I've noticed many friends asking about the specifications of heavy-duty industrial gear oil. Having worked in factories for so many years, I must say it's not just a simple number. The key factors are API standards like GL-5 and viscosity grades such as ISO VG 220 or 320. These specifications are designed for heavy-load equipment like excavators or conveyor gearboxes, where high loads can cause wear, so the oil must be pressure-resistant and anti-oxidative. During routine maintenance, always check the equipment manual to avoid choosing the wrong oil. Some factories try to save money by using regular oil, only to end up with noisy machines and shortened lifespans. I remember one maintenance check where we found severe gear wear, all because low-viscosity oil was used. After switching to VG 320, the operation became much smoother. In short, choosing the right specification can save you a lot of money. The key is to consult professional advice and avoid random experimentation.
As someone who frequently deals with equipment failures, I must emphasize that heavy-duty industrial gear oil grades are critical for safety, typically using API GL-5 paired with viscosities like ISO VG 220 to 460. Different equipment has varying requirements—under high loads, a thicker oil film is necessary to protect gears. Using the wrong grade can lead to overheating, posing risks of short circuits or even fires. I've witnessed sudden equipment shutdowns in mines caused by substandard oil quality; switching to standard GL-5 oil extended the machinery's lifespan. Don’t forget regular oil quality checks—oxidation and degradation impair performance. I recommend changing it every six months, especially in high-temperature environments. Safety comes first—choosing the right grade ensures peace of mind during operation.
