How to choose the right industrial oil for a specific equipment?

First of all, it is necessary to refer to the operating instructions of the equipment itself.

The manufacturer specifies the recommended oil types, viscosity classes, standards and tolerances that the oil must meet.

Key factors in choosing an industrial oil:

• The type of equipment and its main components. Hydraulic system, gearbox, compressor, bearings.
• Operating conditions. Temperature conditions (operating temperature, ambient temperature), loads (high, medium, low), rotation/movement speed.
• Working environment. The presence of water, steam, aggressive chemicals, and food products.
• Required characteristics. The need for anti-wear properties, anti-corrosion protection, thermal stability, energy saving.
• Standards and tolerances. Oil compliance with international (ISO, DIN) and industry standards, as well as specific tolerances of equipment manufacturers.

Modern industrial oils are high–tech products that play an indispensable role in maintaining the operability and efficiency of industrial equipment.

The correct selection of oil, based on the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer and taking into account the operating conditions, is the key to reducing repair costs.
