In this paper, experiments have been performed for the investigation of tribological characteristics of automobile gear oil with the addition of ZDDP and DEP by using the FALEX WEAR TEST MACHINE. The results are as follows. The wear characteristics of gear oil was improved by adding compound additives. The extreme pressure of gear oil increases and then decreases with the applied load. The maximum extreme pressure of gear oil with compound additive is bigger then that of pure gear oil. The friction coefficient of pure gear oil monotonically increases with the temperature, but that of gear oil mixed with the additives decreases at the high temperature.

The purpose of this paper is to present the case study of tribological failure analysis on the gear damages, oil leakage, and sealant sealing in a manual transmission of front engine and front wheel drive vehicle. The manual transmission is to change the speed range and direction of the engines depending on the driving conditions by friction driving forces with input and output gear system. The material property and surface roughness of the gears are strongly related to the gear noise and micro-vibration, oil leakage and wear, which may decrease the real contact area of the gear and the strength of the oil film thickness between the driving gear and driven one. The O-ring damage of speedometer driven gear and bad sealant sealing of oil pan may produce oil leakage through the contact surfaces, which cause the oil shortage and seizure on the sliding surfaces of the transaxle gears. In the failure case study, the proper repair working and good lubrication are very important for the long life of the transaxle without any tribological failures and oil leakage.

Namhae chemical is one of the largest fertilizer manufacturing company in Korea which company has operating 4 unit agitator gear boxes and producing variety kinds of fertilizer production. The gearbox operating temperature of agitator is approximated in $55^{\circ}C{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ and required to keep operating continuous without stopping. The system required high performance oil and longer oil drain interval as limited workforce in maintenance team. It was lubricated by mineral gear oil of ISO VG 320 and also need to change to new oil frequently. Namhae Chemical would expect to keep stable operating condition without shut down and consider, lower cost of operation and equipment protection.

The wear particles is released from the moving surfaces in gear systems of transmission and its morphology is directly related to the damage and failure to gear system from which the particles originated. It is the effective method for damage condition estimation of automobile transmission gear to observe wear debris in gear oil. We tested with new transmission and took out gear oil according to driving distance. To be applied to damage condition of gear system in transmission of automobile,4 shape parameters of wear particles in gear oil were calculated and wear volume were presumed with the image processing system.

Oil gear pump is used for the cooling pump system of commercial vehicle. The hydraulic pulsation pressure of oil gear pump is one of the most important reasons for the vibration and noise of the pump. In this study, the several hydraulic factors acting on oil gear motor are analyzed by CFD in operation of cooling system. Forced vibration analysis due to hydraulic pulsation pressure is analyzed by FEA for predicting deformation and equivalent stress.

This paper describes determination of optimal lubricant quantity for driving gear unit. The purpose of selecting optimal lubricant quantity is to evaluate durability of driving gear unit. Lubricant quantity of driving gear unit is important factor affecting durability. The determination methode of lubricant quantity evaluation is used calculation necessary lubricant quantity first, then selection of optimal oil quantity as a base for moving of oil temperature according to changing oil quantity.

In the case of gear oil which is used under severe running condition in automotive, the various additives is used fur increasing the ability of enduring against seizure. In this paper, the wear and friction characteristics observed using the Falex friction and wear test machine in adding the $MoS_2$ to auto gear oil. As the result of experimentation, the friction and wear characteristics is the most excellent in adding concentration range of the $MoS_2\;2.5{\sim}5wt.%$.

Friction and wear characteristics of gear oils added load carrying aditives, JS and DBP have been invesitigated using Shell Four Ball Tester and Cygnus and also compared with commercial gear oil. The Gear oil added DBP among them showed excellent friction and wear performances, which is deduced by action mechanism of additives. The surface analysis of the worn balls was conducted using an optical microscope.

The hydraulic LSD which uses the principle of gear pump is packed with viscous oil in tight container. When a slip occurs on one wheel, the hydraulic LSD generates torque caused by high oil pressure in the container. In this study, two dimensional(2-D) side pinion gear model was developed for hydraulic LSD. Using that model the flow analysis was conducted to preestimate pressure distributions of the side pinion gear according to the variations in the design factors such as oil viscosity, gear gap and rpm. Then, applying the obtained pressure distributions on the side pinion gear, finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate the torque characteristics. From the analysis results, the torque characteristics according to the design factor variations were evaluated.
