▪ Polyether-based synthetic oil

▪ Polyalphaolefin-based synthetic oil
▪ Ester-based synthetic oil

Polyalphaolefin: similar to mineral oil, easily mixable with mineral oil, some approved for use with
foodstuffs.

Esters: some approved for use with foodstuffs, some biodegradable.

▪ Scuffing test procedure: Selection options:

▪ No information about scuffing
▪ FZG Test A/8.3/90; ISO 14635-1 (normal)
▪ FZG Test A/16.6/90
▪ FZG Test A/16.6/120
▪ FZG Test A/16.6/140
▪ FZG Test A10/16.6R/120; ISO 14635-2
▪ Input of scuffing temperature
▪ FZG test A10/16.6R/90
▪ FZG test S-A10/16.6R/90
▪ Failure load stage scuffing FZG test: Input load stage scuffing as specified in the FZG test.
These values are required for gear calculations.

1= weakest stage; 12=best stage

Good gear lubricants all have a load stage scuffing value of 12.

▪ Scuffing temperature θs:You can also enter the scuffing temperature for the scuffing test
procedure.
▪ Micropitting process: Selection options
▪ No information available for load stage micropitting
▪ C-GF/8.3/90 (FZG)
▪ Load stage micropitting test: The best achievable load stage is 10.
▪ Densityϱ: [kg/dm3]
▪ Cone penetration at 25°C (grease) Pe: [0.1mm] This value is only required to calculate grease-
lubricated plain bearings.
▪ Soap proportion (grease) cs: [Vol%] This value is only required to calculate grease-lubricated
plain bearings.
▪ k coefficient, s coefficient (compression viscosity) k, s: Coefficient used to calculate
compression viscosity (AGMA 925):
