Lubricating oil for industrial gearboxes subjected to extreme pressure

Gears are probably among the most loaded components in any mechanical system. They are used to transmit force at different angles, increase/decrease speed and improve the mechanical advantage of the transmission. Although the transmitted load is usually within established safety limits, it is possible that the gear loads are higher than originally intended. The term […]

Classification of viscosity of lubricating oil

According to the Society of Tribologist and Lubrication Engineers (STLE), viscosity is the most important physical property of a lubricating oil. It is the first parameter that oil analysis laboratories perform to evaluate the condition of the oil and its lubricating performance. Let’s learn about viscosity and viscosity classifications of lubricating oils with Unioil Lubricants through the […]

Diesel engine oil is adulterated due to what causes you know?

Understanding the causes of engine oil contamination is important to monitor and correct as they are the root cause of premature oil degradation and engine failure. For example, seal damage resulting in fuel contamination or glycol contamination cannot be remedied by changing the oil or switching to a better quality lubricant. Such symptom-based contaminants are […]
