1 Lubricating oil for enclosed gear drive

The use of good quality oil with properties which are suited to the operating conditions is essential for the
gears' resistance and longevity.

The use of Extreme Pressure (EP) lubricants is mandatory. The lubricant supplier should always be consulted,
especially in heavy duty operating conditions such as a low or high ambient temperature and a very
humid or hostile environment. In the case of use on a wide range of temperatures or start-up at a low
temperature, synthetic oils are advised.

Indeed, these oils have a higher viscosity index as well as a lower pour point. However, its compatibility
with our equipment must be checked prior to use with regard to the internal painting of the housing and
auxiliary equipment in contact with the oil (case of polyglycol oils - PG). In this respect, only
polyalphaolephin (PAO) synthetic hydrocarbon oils are harmless.

- Nitrile / Perbunan joints are compatible with PAO and PG oils (temperatures < 100ºC).

- Sealing pastes are made of silicon for PG oils

- Paints in contact with PG oils must be made of Epoxy resin.

- Glycerophtalic and polyurethane paints are compatible with PAO oils.

The order-specific documents mention the type of recommended oil, viscosity, ambient temperature
ranges, quantity and, possibly, the frequency of oil changes.

It is always advisable to foresee in the preventive maintenance program, among other things, in-service
monitoring of the lubricant by analysing its physical-chemical properties (check with our technical
departments or the lubricant's supplier).

The listed oils description corresponds to ISO 3448 standards recommendations.

Kinematic viscosity levels are expressed in centistokes (1 cSt = 1mm²/s) at 40°C (around 100°F). As a
reminder, we have included the corresponding Degree Engler (°E) and the Saybolt Second Universal
(S.S.U) units.

Generally, CMD recommends for gearboxes to use oil of CKC range according to ISO 6743-61, and
following the specifications of ISO 12925-12.

In addition, the oil must fulfil the performance requirements of DIN 51517-33, and must have achieved at
least a result ≥10 to the micro-pitting test FZG, FVA 54 I-IV.

If any, an oil following the requirements of AGMA 90054, and obtaining a minimum result ≤30 (mg) to the
strength test for bearings FE8 DIN 5189-3, in addition with a minimum result ≥10 to the micro-pitting test FZG,
FVA 54 I-IV, will be acceptable.

It is mandatory to select an oil consistent with the indications and instructions provided respectively on the
nameplate and on the gearbox documentation. To select the lubricant that best fits these
recommendations, please contact your oil supplier.

In the case of using oil filters, oil properties must be checked and compatible with the filtration level.

Using an oil satisfying the minimum requirements listed in the previous paragraphs cannot engage CMD
responsibility in terms of performances and results obtained.
In addition, CMD is not responsible for damages caused by lubricants. The lubricant manufacturer is solely
responsible for the conformity of his product in regards with the specifications presented in this document.

Implementation conditions changed after order require obtaining the written approval of CMD for the
choice of the lubricant selected.

2 General lubrication instructions for open gear wheels

Open gear wheels must be perfectly cleaned before applying the lubricant specified in the tables below.
The lubrication of those types of open gear wheels will be made as follow:
- Application of the primary lubricant
- At starting, add of running-in lubricant by spraying, oil bath or oil circulation
- After the running-in, operating lubricant by spraying, oil bath or oil circulation.

These tables do not content special specifications for difficult or particular lubricating conditions.

5 Cautions for oil sample collection

In order to be as representative as possible and to enable a strict follow-up of the device to be monitored,
the sample must always be collected at the same place in the oil bath or lubrication circuit, with the
exact same pre-established procedure (upstream the filters location). Clean-up the surrounding area
where the sample is collected.

When a sampling is made while the gearbox is running, new oil extra-fillings mustn’t distort the analysis
results. Extra filling must be equal to taken volume and as reduced as possible.

When a sampling is made after the gearbox stop, it must be executed right-away after the stop (within15
mn after the stop), in order to prevent as much as possible the suspended particles decantation
phenomenon in the lubricant. Sample collection must be executed with a reusable pump (subject to
careful cleaning after each use) and single use hoses and flasks.

For reliability and traceability reasons, it’s highly recommended to submit each analysis for a single device
to the same lab.

6 Recommendations for oils and greases disposal

Oils and greases are recyclable substances. Their disposal must be executed following current
environmental regulations and local applicable rules. If needed, please contact your oil supplier for more
details.

WARNING: INAPPROPRIATE LUBRICANT USE (different from CMD or component

supplier’s recommendations) MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE GEARBOX. IN THAT CASE,
CMD WARRANTY WOULD NOT APPLY. NO DEVIATION IS ALLOWED WITHOUT PRIOR
ADVICE FROM CMD
