Tóm tắt

The main role of the gears is to ensure smoothness and noiseless service, required power transmission, precision of processing, necessary degree of efficiency and so on. Lubrication is of significant importance to the protection of gears from tribological processes which cause failure of gears. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of lubricating oils on the reliability of gears. The experimental investigation of the influence of some industrial oils on the tribological behaviour of gears of machine tools has been carried out at a metalworking factory. The paper presents the following: the classification of industrial oils for gears; the flow‐chart of the choice of the industrial oil for gears; the analysis of the symptoms and the causes of failure to gears; the reliability curves of gears in the function of tribological properties of lubricating oils under the operating conditions of investigation here presented. The reliability of gears was found to be affected by both the type of lubricating oil and the viscosity grade.
