About the range

Industrial gear oils lubricate the enclosed gear systems found in gearboxes, drives and reduction units across manufacturing, processing and material handling equipment. Gem Oils supplies industrial gear oils across the common ISO viscosity grades, including extreme-pressure (EP) and synthetic formulations.

Industrial gearboxes operate continuously in many applications, placing sustained demands on oil film strength, thermal stability and water separation (demulsibility). The correct gear oil selection depends on gear type, ambient temperature and the manufacturer’s specified ISO VG grade.

Industrial Gear Oils Products FAQs

Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked by garages, fleet operators, and motor factors. For vehicle-specific advice, contact our technical team directly.

Industrial gear oil lubricates enclosed gearboxes, drives and reduction units across manufacturing, processing and material handling applications. It protects gear teeth and bearings under continuous load and helps manage heat, reduce wear and resist water contamination in industrial environments.

The required ISO VG grade is specified by the gearbox manufacturer based on gear type, load and operating temperature. Common industrial gear oil grades range from ISO VG 68 to VG 680. The Gem Oils technical team can confirm the correct grade if you provide the gearbox make and model.

Mineral gear oils are suitable for standard industrial applications at normal operating temperatures. Synthetic gear oils generally provide better thermal stability, lower pour points and a longer service life, making them suitable for continuously running gearboxes, high-load applications or where extended change intervals are required.

Industrial gearboxes can be exposed to water ingress from condensation, washdowns or humid environments. Good demulsibility allows water to separate cleanly from the oil rather than forming an emulsion, which would reduce lubrication quality and increase corrosion risk. Gem Oils industrial gear oils are formulated with good water separation properties for industrial use.
