BLD16-23-22KW cycloidal pinwheel reducer (horizontal, 22kW heavy load) is recommended to use ISO VG 150/220 extreme pressure (EP) industrial gear oil. Adjust accordingly when the ambient temperature and working conditions are different. The following are recommendations and supplementary instructions:
Normal working conditions at normal temperature (0-40℃): Priority is given to ISO VG 150 extreme pressure industrial gear oil, which meets the anti-wear and load-bearing requirements of 22kW power, is suitable for most continuous operation scenarios, has strong versatility and high cost performance.
Heavy load/high temperature working conditions (>40°C, impact load, long-term full load): Upgrade to ISO VG 220/320 extreme pressure industrial gear oil to improve oil film strength and thermal stability and reduce the risk of wear.
Low temperature working conditions (-10-0℃): Use ISO VG 68/100 extreme pressure industrial gear oil to avoid high viscosity at low temperatures, which may cause difficulty in starting and poor lubrication.
Extreme environments (-30°C ~ 150°C, humid/corrosive conditions): Choose PAO/PAG synthetic extreme pressure gear oil (same viscosity grade), which has better anti-oxidation, anti-emulsification, and anti-rust properties, and extends the oil change interval but at a higher cost.
Supplementary requirements: The oil must comply with the GB 5903-2011 industrial closed gear oil standard, contain EP additives (GL-3/GL-4 levels), and have good anti-wear, anti-oxidation, and anti-rust properties; it is prohibited to replace it with ordinary mechanical oil to avoid excessive wear of the tooth surface.
Lubrication method and oil change: The horizontal model adopts oil bath lubrication, and the oil level is kept at the center line of the oil sight window; the oil is changed after 500 hours of initial operation, and the oil is changed every 3 months after working for >10 hours per day, and every 6 months for ≤10 hours.
