Gears

Calculation of lubricant consumption for gears lubrication

The gears lubrication  is divided into:
- small gears (ex. pinion)
- large gears
- worm gear
- wheel

The main purpose of a correct lubrication is to reduce the friction of the gears' teeth.
Depending on the construction characteristics it will  be determined the needs of lubrication. 
 
STEP 1: Choose the kind of lubrication want to use:
STEP 2: Indicate unit of measurement
STEP 3: Insert values: "L1" (width) 
                                 "D2" (gear primitive diameter) 
                                 "L" (length)
                                 "D1" (primitive diameter worm gear)
