What type of oil do I use in my conveyor motor

Nord Gear Corporation Recommendations:

VG220-MIN-EP Mineral Oil with EP Additive, 32ºF to 104ºF

VG220-SYN-PAO-EP Synthetic Polyalphaolefin Oil with EP Additive, -31ºF to 140ºF

The oil fill volume is specific to your gearcase.

Proper gearbox lubrication is essential in order to reduce friction, heat, and component wear. Lubricants reduce heat and wear by inserting a protective “fluid boundary” between mating parts and preventing direct metal to metal contact. Lubricants also help prevent corrosion and oxidation, minimize foam, improve heat transfer, optimize reducer efficiency, absorb shock loads and reduce noise.

If the gear unit is filled with mineral oil, the lubricant should be replaced at least after every 10,000 operating hours or after every two years. If the gear unit is filled with synthetic oil, the lubricant should be replaced at least after every 20,000 operating hours or after every four years. Often gear reducers are exposed to extreme ambient conditions, hostile environments, wet conditions, or dirty and dusty operating areas. Especially in these situations, it is important to establish a condition-based oil service interval.
