Ensuring appropriate conditions for lubrication of gear transmissions as a priority for maintenance services in industrial transport

This paper presents the problem of the operation of gear transmissions in the context of ensuring appropriate lubrication conditions. Damage caused by improper lubrication was discussed. Attention was drawn to the issue of oil contamination. Furthermore, a method for determining the thickness of the oil film of gear wheel teeth was described. There was also performed an analysis of the lubrication conditions of sample gear transmissions of the load, manufacturing technology and surface roughness
