Dr. Jennifer Clark has been a technology development manager for Lubrizol for 13 years. Since 2019 she worked as a technology development manager for the industrial grease team, where she focuses on the development of new open gear lubricant technology, grease thickener development and additive formulation.
Lubricating greases are typically known for their use in a wide variety of applications such as rolling element bearings, automotive transmission joints as well as heavy duty chassis components; but can also be found very useful in the lubrication of gears. There are two types of gear families: the primary difference being open and enclosed gearboxes. The gears within a closed system are lubricated with grease within the system. Open gears are lubricated by grease or fluid separate from the piece of equipment. This paper will focus on the lubrication of open gears, utilizing both grease and fluid Open Gear Lubricants (OGL).
