AGMA 5, ISO VG 220 | Gear Lube (Non-EP)

Gear-driven industrial machines operating under moderate pressures may benefit from the implementation of an AGMA 5, ISO VG 220, Moderate-Pressure Gear Lube. These oils are designed to withstand intense environments and frequent exposure to high-pressure, high-heat, and high-moisture environments. These oils contribute to the smooth operation of industrial moderately-loaded gearboxes and help to minimize debris and sludge formation.

ISO VG 220 oil has a midpoint kinematic viscosity of 220 mm²/s, also referred to as centistokes (cSt). The midpoint is derived by taking the average of both the minimum and maximum kinematic viscosities. In the case of ISO VG 220 oil, those numbers are 198 cSt and 242 cSt, respectively. AGMA 5 lubricants have a minimum viscosity of 198 mPa.s and a maximum viscosity of 242 mPa.s. These numbers refer to the standard testing mechanisms used to determine how much resistance to flow (i.e. viscosity) these oils demonstrate.
