Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Open Gear Grease?
Open gear grease is a heavy-duty lubricant designed to protect exposed gears from wear, corrosion, and extreme operating conditions. It provides a thick, protective coating that stays in place, even in wet or dirty environments.
What Is the Best Lubricant for Open Gears?
BioBlend’s BioGrease OG is an excellent choice for open gears. It is a lithium-based grease that is readily biodegradable, offers superior water resistance, and provides reliable protection under heavy loads in harsh outdoor conditions.
What Type of Oil Do Open Gears Require?
Open gears require a grease or oil with high adhesion, exceptional load-carrying capacity, and strong resistance to water washout. These properties ensure long-lasting lubrication and protection in demanding, wet environments.
Is Oil or Grease Better for Gears?
Both oil and grease have their place:
- Oil is better for enclosed gear systems where constant circulation can keep parts lubricated.
- Grease is better for open or exposed gears, as it adheres to surfaces and resists being washed away by water, dust, or debris.
Is Vaseline a Good Lubricant for Gears?
No. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is not suitable for gears because it lacks the load-carrying capacity, adhesion, and durability needed for mechanical applications. It can break down quickly under heat and heavy pressure, leading to gear damage.
