Approved Lubricants for Helical Gearbox
Oil Capacities
AGNEE helical gear boxes are supplied without oil. Before operating it is essential to ensure that they are filled to correct oil levels, as indicated by markings on dipsticks, with lubricants recommended by AGNEE. Overfilling can cause overheating and leakage.
Correct lubricant is most important and it should be noted that EP oils are recommended in all instances.
Lubricants listed are suitable for normal ambient temperatures and operating duties. All gear units in this range are designed to operate under full load at a maximum temperatures of 110 degree C. Higher temperatures up to a maximum of 120 degree C are acceptable on the basis of peak periods of short duration only. In certain applications these maximum temperatures may be exceeded by the use of special lubricants. Such cases, or others where extreme conditions are to be met, e.g. low temperature operation or unusual loading conditions, should be referred, with full details, to AGNEE for recommendations.
Recommended lubricants are based on information provided by oil supplied and responsibility cannot be accepted for the quality or suitability of oil supplied, nor to any mechanical defect resulting from unsatisfactory lubrication due to the use of sub-standard oil.
