What is the role of gear oil in gear reducers?

We know that before using a gear reducer, gear oil must be filled. Do you know why? What role does gear oil play?

 

The following are several roles:

 

(1) It aims to reduce friction, thereby reducing power loss.

 

(2) It can disperse heat and exert a certain cooling effect.

 

(3) It can prevent the occurrence of corrosion and avoid rusting.

 

(4) It helps to reduce the wear degree of gears and other moving parts and extend the service life of gears.

 

(5) It can reduce the noise during the working process, reduce vibration and alleviate the impact between gears.

 

(6) It can wash away dirt, especially the dirt between the tooth surfaces, thereby reducing wear.
