LUBRICANT ANALYSIS AND CHANGES
OIL ANALYSIS REPORT — Checking oil condition at
regular intervals is recommended. Analyze oil samples
approximately every 1000 hours for petroleum lubricants
or every 3000 hours for synthetic lubricants. In the
absence of more specific limits, the guidelines listed below
may be used to indicate when to change petroleum or
polyalphaolefin type synthetic lubricants:
1. Water content is greater than 500 ppm (parts per
million) (0.05%).
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm, above reference
sample from new oil container.
4. Copper content exceeds 75 ppm.
5. TAN (Total Acid Number) 50% increase above
reference sample from new oil container.
6. Viscosity changes more than ±15%.
7. Solid particle contamination code exceeds 25/22/18
for particle sizes ≥4/≥6/≥14 microns, respectively per
ISO 4406.
Guidelines for when to change Falk GMax 6000
polyalkylene glycol type lubricant are:
1. Water content is greater than 3%.
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm, above reference
sample from new oil container.
4. Copper content exceeds 75 ppm.
5. Viscosity changes more than ±15%.
6. Solid particle contamination code 25/22/18 per ISO
4406.
Laboratory analysis is recommended for optimum lubricant
life and gear drive performance.
approaching that of extreme pressure (EP) lubricants; end
user should consult lubricant manufacturer/supplier and
Rexnord as necessary. Typically EP lubricants in Tables 5B
& 6B contain these additives.
MICROPITTING RESISTANT LUBRICANTS (TABLES 5C
& 6C) —
Micropitting resistant lubricants are specially
developed for surface hardened gearing commonly used
in modern industrial gear drives. These lubricants contain
additives to resist formation of micropitting and other
conventional forms of gear wear. Highly loaded gear
drives or applications where operating loads are not well
defined may benefit from this type of lubricant. Generally
lubricants are available in limited number of viscosity
grades.
CAUTION: MICROPITTING RESISTANT LUBRICANTS
& INTERNAL BACKSTOPS — Do not use micropitting
resistant lubricants in drives equipped with internal
cartridge type backstops. These lubricants are listed in
Tables 5C & 6C.
WARNING: LUBRICANTS IN FOOD PROCESSING
INDUSTRY — Generally conventional gear lubricants are
classified as H2 by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation)
since they contain harmful substances and should not
be used in the food processing industry. Lubricants
registered as H1 by NSF are suitable for food processing
applications.
CLIMATE CONDITIONS — Ambient temperature in
immediate vicinity of gear drive is very important for
determining viscosity grade. Table 3 provides viscosity
grade selections for petroleum-based lubricants. See
Table 4 for synthetic lubricants.
OIL LEVELS
Fill the drive with lubricant to pipe plug level indicated in
illustrations in Section 1. Approximate oil capacities are
given in Table 2 below.
c Gear drives NOT equipped with internal backstop may widen the ambient temperature range to -18° to +125°F (-28° to +52°C).
