Lubrizol Industrial Gears : Introduces Siemens MD Approved Gear Oils
27 Novembre 2012 - 2:30PM
CLEVELAND, November 22, 2012 -The
Lubrizol Corporation recently introduced a series of fully
formulated industrial lubricants that meet the daunting
Siemens MD specification (formerly known as the Flender
specification). The Lubrizol products, FM2205A, FM2206A and FM2207A
industrial gear oils, ensure trouble-free performance in heavy-duty
gearbox applications in industries such as mining, metal
fabrication and general manufacturing.
Many of today's industrial gearboxes operate with
higher power densities, reduced oil volumes and increased
temperatures-all of which put further stress on gear teeth,
bearings, elastomer seals, and other components. The stringent
Siemens MD specification for helical, bevel and planetary gear
units exemplifies the challenge for gear oil formulators by
demanding a high level of micropitting and dynamic foam resistance,
as well as compatibility with the advanced materials now being used
for the internal paint, elastomeric seals and liquid sealants in
industrial gearboxes.
The specification has proven to be especially
challenging since the additive chemistries designed to deliver
performance in one aspect of the testing protocol can have a
detrimental effect on other required performance areas.
According to Tim Cooper, Lubrizol industrial
product manager for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, "The
industry has been searching for a gear oil additives solution
capable of ensuring the long-term integrity of gearbox materials
while providing guaranteed resistance to micropitting fatigue.
Extensive laboratory testing has demonstrated that this new
Lubrizol proprietary chemistry provides the desired levels of
performance across a range of base stocks."
In order to assist oil blenders who do not have
access to the appropriate base oils for blending the approved
formulations, the company is making available Siemens MD approved
finished gear oils, which customers can quickly and smoothly upload
into their supply chains and take advantage of a formal
homologation with Lubrizol's proven oil re-brand program.
