Lubrizol Industrial Gears : Introduces Siemens MD Approved Gear Oils
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
CLEVELAND, November 22, 2012 -The Lubrizol Corporation recently introduced a
series of fully formulated industrial lubricants that meet the daunting
Siemens MD specification (formerly known as the Flender specification). The
Lubrizol products, FM2205A, FM2206A and FM2207A industrial gear oils, ensure
trouble-free performance in heavy-duty gearbox applications in industries such
as mining, metal fabrication and general manufacturing.
Many of today's industrial gearboxes operate with higher power densities,
reduced oil volumes and increased temperatures-all of which put further stress
on gear teeth, bearings, elastomer seals, and other components. The stringent
Siemens MD specification for helical, bevel and planetary gear units exemplifies
the challenge for gear oil formulators by demanding a high level of micropitting
and dynamic foam resistance, as well as compatibility with the advanced
materials now being used for the internal paint, elastomeric seals and liquid
sealants in industrial gearboxes.
The specification has proven to be especially challenging since the additive
chemistries designed to deliver performance in one aspect of the testing
protocol can have a detrimental effect on other required performance areas.
According to Tim Cooper, Lubrizol industrial product manager for Europe, Africa
and the Middle East, "The industry has been searching for a gear oil additives
solution capable of ensuring the long-term integrity of gearbox materials while
providing guaranteed resistance to micropitting fatigue. Extensive laboratory
testing has demonstrated that this new Lubrizol proprietary chemistry provides
the desired levels of performance across a range of base stocks."
In order to assist oil blenders who do not have access to the appropriate base
oils for blending the approved formulations, the company is making available
Siemens MD approved finished gear oils, which customers can quickly and smoothly
upload into their supply chains and take advantage of a formal homologation with
Lubrizol's proven oil re-brand program.
