Gear Box Lubrication Oil Supply Amount

With the development of modern engineering technology,

there are many types of gears, but the gears,
but the gears most commonly used in gearboxes are spur, helical, and worm.
Spur Helical

Typically operate 28°C above ambient

Worm

Typically operate 50°C above ambient

Since the viscosity and amount of oil used inside for gearbox lubrication
have various effects such as machine efficiency, equipment life, overload,
power consumption, and gear wear, the amount of oil used for gearbox
lubrication is very important.

1. When gears are positioned horizontally

A level at which the tooth surface of the lowest gear is slightly locked

Oil Level (◯)

 Oil Level (☓)
Load generation due to fluid resistance,
decrease in efficiency, decrease in lifespan,
increase in power consumption

2. When gears are positioned vertically

Below the axis of the motor shaft

3. Special Conditions (Magnetic Roller Motor)

When the gearbox drive shaft is higher than the motor drive shaft

In the case of magnetic rolls, since the drive shaft of the motor is always submerged in oil,
it is judged that the motor should be prepared and installed from the point of view of the pump,
not the general gear motor.
