Total performance lubricant manufacturer, Bel-Ray says it provides superior lubrication of Type 2 open gear systems with its high viscosity Clear Gear Lubricant. Used in mining and industrial equipment such as mills, cement kilns and driers, the product is proven to reduce consumption, vibration and temperature of machinery.

Clear Gear Lubricant is engineered to operate in the full fluid film or hydrodynamic mode of lubrication that is especially suited to maximise gear tooth protection. The fluid easily drains from the open gear shroud and will not accumulate or harden in tooth roots. Clear Gear is a completely transparent product “that ensures easy dynamic and static gear tooth inspections and offers a clean appearance.”

As a friction modified lubricant, Clear Gear reduces energy consumption and operating temperature. Clear Gear is available globally in five viscosity grades including Light, Medium, Standard, Heavy and Extra Heavy.

Clear Gear Lubricant Light, Medium, Heavy and Extra Heavy are approved by Metso Minerals for intermittent spray lubrication of open gears and Grades Medium and Heavy are approved by Outotec. Clear Gear Lubricant exceeds ANSI/AGMA 9005-E02 Specification Annex D for minimum viscosity recommendation for open gearing – intermittent lubricant application.
