Market Definition
According to the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA), open gear lubricants are specialized products designed for large, slow-moving, heavily loaded open gears typically used in the mining, cement, and power generation industries. These lubricants include high-viscosity base oils, asphaltic compounds with volatile solvents, and polymer-thickened products. The extreme pressure and anti-scuff additives are specially incorporated into these lubricants for heavy loads and extreme conditions. They are designed to provide high load-carrying capacity, resist water washout, and form a protective film to minimize wear and friction under severe operating conditions.
