Industrial gear systems are at the heart of modern production – powering steel mills, mining conveyors, wind turbines, and countless other processes that keep global industry moving. These applications demand lubricants that can perform under high load, extreme pressure, and continuous operation without compromise.
The INDUS-GEAR™ Industrial Gear Oil range from Rock Oil delivers that performance. Developed to meet and exceed DIN 51517 Part 3, AGMA 9005-F16, and multiple OEM approvals, the range combines advanced chemistry with decades of formulation experience to protect critical components, minimise wear, and extend oil life.
From mineral-based oils proven in heavy-duty gearboxes, to high-performance synthetics designed for extreme conditions, INDUS-GEAR represents Rock Oil’s most comprehensive gear lubricant portfolio to date.
A Complete Portfolio for Every Gear Application
The INDUS-GEAR range is structured around four core chemistries, each tailored to a distinct operating environment:
- INDUS-GEAR M CLP – Robust, mineral-based gear oils formulated with EP/AW additives to deliver excellent load-carrying performance and corrosion protection in demanding industrial gearboxes.
- INDUS-GEAR S PAO CLP – Fully synthetic PAO-based gear oils offering superior micropitting resistance, reduced friction, and enhanced energy efficiency – ideal for robotics, wind energy, and precision mechanical drives.
- INDUS-GEAR S PAG – Advanced PAG synthetics that excel under high temperature and heavy load, maintaining stability beyond 200 °C and delivering outstanding oxidation control for long-drain operation.
- INDUS-GEAR BIO ES – Biodegradable ester-based lubricants combining high-performance protection with environmental responsibility for applications such as hydropower, forestry, and marine systems.
This tiered approach makes selection straightforward – ensuring every gearbox, from high-speed precision units to slow-moving open gears, receives the right balance of protection, efficiency, and longevity.
Performance That Protects Productivity
Industrial gearboxes are often the most expensive and vital link in a production chain. A single unplanned failure can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds in downtime – a reality that underlines the importance of lubricant quality.
Each INDUS-GEAR formulation is engineered to combat wear, corrosion, and micropitting, while maintaining oil film integrity under heavy or shock loading. High filterability, reliable foam control, and compatibility with seals and coatings further ensure consistent performance across service intervals.
For synthetic grades such as INDUS-GEAR S PAO CLP, measurable efficiency improvements of up to 8.5 % have been recorded – reducing energy consumption and extending component life simultaneously.
Sustainability and Responsibility, Built In
With growing emphasis on sustainability across global manufacturing, Rock Oil has developed the INDUS-GEAR BIO ES series to provide high-performance protection without environmental compromise. Formulated from biodegradable esters, these lubricants are ideal for use near waterways, in renewable energy sites, and in environmentally sensitive locations.
