  • Reducing friction between gears and bearings
  • Supporting cooler operation, which helps maintain stable running conditions
  • Minimizing mechanical noise sources during continuous duty
  • Improving gear and bearing life, reducing noise caused by wear
  • Supporting smoother timing gear engagement
