Most industrial gearbox designs are rated for continuous duty at 20°C ambient temperature. The design manuals of geared motor manufacturers give consideration to operating conditions above and below 20°C ambient, as well as the duty cycle of the unit, and modify the thermal capacity
Oil technology has increased markedly over the last two decades, with synthetics becoming more and more prevalent. Gearbox manufacturers have continued to demand more from their designs as this technology evolves, allowing for even higher torque capacities from the same sized units.
