RESEARCH ON POLISHING PROPERTIES OF GEAR OILS AND WAYS TO IMPROVE THEM

Abstract

This article explores ways to improve the polishing properties of gear oils. The operating conditions of gears are characterized by high loads in the zone of contact of the teeth and relatively high speeds of mutual movement of the rubbing surfaces. The polishing properties of oils should protect transmission parts from wear and the undesirable phenomenon of seizing, and abrasion of gears. In complex additives (chlorine, phosphorus, sulfur), sulfide films prevent scuffing, while chloride films, due to their elasticity, reduce wear and energy costs to overcome friction forces.
