KLÜBER Klubersynth Cross Reference by Viscosity Grade: ISO VG Selection Guide

The KLÜBER Klubersynth family spans synthetic gear oils (GEM, GH), hydraulic oils (CH), chain oils (LI), compressor oils (RA), and specialty products across a wide viscosity range. This cross-reference organizes the Klubersynth portfolio by ISO VG viscosity grade, helping engineers quickly identify the correct product for their application's speed, load, and temperature requirements.

TL;DR

  • Klubersynth oils are available from ISO VG 6 to 1500+, covering ultra-low-viscosity spindle applications through extreme-viscosity chain and open gear lubrication.
  • Each Klubersynth series targets specific applications — GEM for enclosed gearboxes, CH for hydraulic systems, LI for chains, RA for compressors, and UH1 for food-grade.

⚠ Important Note

Cross-referencing by viscosity alone is insufficient for lubricant selection. Always verify: (1) base oil type (PAO vs mineral), (2) additive package (EP, AW, R&O), (3) certifications (NSF H1, ISO 21469), and (4) OEM approvals for your specific equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use Klubersynth GEM in place of Klubersynth GH?

Klubersynth GEM 4 N and GH 6 are both PAO synthetic gear oils, but GEM 4 N has enhanced anti-micropitting additive technology validated per FVA 54/7 and is specifically developed for wind turbine and high-performance industrial gearboxes. GH 6 is a general-purpose synthetic gear oil. For critical gearboxes, use GEM 4 N. For standard enclosed industrial gears at moderate loads, GH 6 provides excellent performance at a more economical price point.

Q: How do I select the right viscosity for my gearbox?

Gear oil viscosity selection depends on gear type, speed (RPM), operating temperature, and load. As a general starting point: helical and bevel gears at moderate speeds = ISO VG 150-220; heavily loaded industrial gears = ISO VG 320-460; low-speed, high-load mill gears = ISO VG 680-1000. Always consult the gearbox manufacturer's specification and calculate the pitch-line velocity to verify viscosity selection.
