20.0 - LUBRICATION (prior to start-up)Gear units are oil lubricated. For gearboxes specified for vertical installation, whereas the oil quantitymay not be sufficient to ensure proper lubrication of the uppermost bearings, extra lubricationprovisions (e.g. grease retainers) are used.Prior to starting-up, fill the gearbox with the appropriate quantity of oil, selecting the viscosity as pertable (A14). Gearboxes are generally provided with oil fill, level and drain plugs. As such, themounting position needs always to be specified at the time the order for the gearbox is placed.The table (A14) lists the most common brands of lubricant and the types recommended for normalapplications.- Note: For applications with non-routine operating conditions, consult factory with complete information.- Oil temperature must not exceed 80 °C / 180 °F in operation.- Gear units are generally supplied unlubricated and feature fill, drain and level plugs, except forlife-lubed combined gearboxes (series 3/V and 3/A) that are factory filled with synthetic oil.- The oil quantities listed for the various types of unit are indicative only. Fill the gearbox up to thelevel plug, located as per the mounting position specified at the time of the order to ensure thegearbox is properly filled.- Should transmitted horsepower exceed the thermal capacity of the unit a supplementary coolingunit must be provided (see: Supplementary cooling systems).NOTE: Combined gearboxes and gearmotors feature separate lubrication for planetary stages andfor worm gearboxes (3/V) or helical bevel units (3/A).(A14)PLANETARY STAGESISO standard 3448 E.P. gradeAmbient temperature -10...+30 °C / 15...85 °F +10...+45 °C / 50...115 °F -20...+60 °C / -5...140 °FISO VG 150 ISO VG 220 ISO VG 150-220SHELL OMALA EP150 OMALA EP220 TIVELA OIL SAGIP BLASIA150 BLASIA 220 BLASIA S220ARAL DEGOL BG 150 DEGOL BG 220 DEGOL GS 220BP-MACH ENERGOL GR XP 150 ENERGOL GR XP 220 ENERSYN HTX 220CASTROL ALPHA SP 150 ALPHA SP 220 ALPHASYN PG 150CHEVRON N.L.
