⚙️ Gear Wear Problems? Choosing the Right Gear Oil Is the Key!

Maxtop Gear Oil Solutions for Heavy-Duty Protection

In industrial machinery, gears are the heart of power transmission. When gears wear out prematurely, it leads to decreased efficiency, expensive repairs, and costly downtime. One of the most overlooked causes of gear wear is using inadequate or incorrect gear oil.

❗ What Causes Excessive Gear Wear?

Lack of Extreme Pressure (EP) Protection
Heavy-duty gear systems operate under high loads and shock conditions. Without proper EP additives (like sulfur-phosphorus compounds), gear surfaces may suffer from scuffing, pitting, or even micro-welding.
Weak Lubrication Film
If the oil fails to form a strong and consistent film between gear surfaces, metal-to-metal contact increases friction and accelerates wear.
Oil Degradation & Oxidation
Over time, gear oil oxidizes and loses its protective properties. Additives degrade, viscosity changes, and lubrication efficiency drops—leading to faster component wear.
Contamination Issues
Water, dirt, or metal particles in the oil can cause abrasive wear, scoring the gear teeth and forming micro-cracks.

✅ Maxtop’s Complete Gear Wear Prevention Strategy

🛢 1. Use High-Performance EP Gear Oil

Maxtop Extreme Pressure Gear Oil is engineered for heavy-duty gear protection:

Advanced EP additives resist shock loading and surface fatigue
Strong oil film minimizes metal contact
Outstanding thermal and oxidative stability
Excellent anti-wear properties, passes FZG test level ≥ 12

Ideal for enclosed gearboxes, heavy machinery, and harsh industrial environments.

🔧 2. Recommended Gear System Maintenance Practices

Routine Oil Analysis: Track wear metals, viscosity, and contamination
Maintain Proper Sealing: Keep out moisture and dust
Follow Optimal Oil Change Intervals: Prevent additive depletion
Control Operating Temperature: Avoid overheating that accelerates oil breakdown
