Introduction
The types of gear failures which can be influenced by the lubricant in use are scuffing, low-speed wear
and the gear-surface fatigue phenomena known as micro- and macropitting. In the gear design process,
these gear damages are taken into consideration by the use of specific lubricant and service-related
characteristic values. For an accurate, field-related selection of these values, adequate lubricant test
2)
procedures are required. The FZG test procedures described in this document, ISO 14635-2 and
ISO 14635-3 can be regarded as tools for the determination of the lubricant-related characteristic
values to be introduced into the load-carrying capacity calculation of gears.
FZG test method A/8,3/90 for the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils described in this
document is typical for the majority of applications in industrial and marine gears. ISO 14635-2 is
related to the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils of very high extreme pressure (EP)
properties, as used for the lubrication of automotive driveline components. Other FZG test procedures
for the determination of low-speed wear, micro- and macropitting load-carrying capacity of gears are
intended to be added to the ISO 14635 series as further parts.

FZG test method A/8,3/90 for relative scuffing load-
carrying capacity of oils
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine to determine the
relative load-carrying capacity of lubricating oils defined by the gear-surface damage known as
scuffing. High surface temperatures due to high surface pressures and sliding velocities can initiate
the breakdown of the lubricant films. This test method can be used to assess such lubricant breakdown
under defined conditions of temperature, high sliding velocity and stepwise increased load.
NOTE This method is technically equivalent to ASTM D 5182-19 and CEC L-07-A-95.

ISO 14635-1:2023(E)
Note 2 to entry: Scuffing is a particularly severe form of damage to the gear-tooth surface in which seizure or
welding together of areas of tooth surface occur, due to absence or breakdown of a lubricant film between the
contacting tooth flanks of mating gears, typically caused by high temperature and high pressure. Scuffing is
most likely when surface velocities are high. Scuffing can also occur at relatively low sliding velocities when
tooth-surface pressures are high enough either generally or, because of uneven surface geometry and loading, in
discrete areas.
Note 3 to entry: Risk of scuffing damage varies with the properties of gear materials, the lubricant used, the
surface roughness of tooth flanks, the sliding velocities and the load. Consequences of scuffing of high-speed
gears include a tendency to high levels of dynamic loading due to increase of vibrations, which usually leads to
further damage by scuffing, pitting or tooth breakage.
3.2
FZG test condition A/8,3/90
test condition where A is the particular tooth form of the test gears, according to Table 1, 8,3 is the
speed at the pitch circle, in metres per second, and 90 is the initial oil temperature in degrees Celsius,
from load stage 5 and onward in the oil sump
Note 1 to entry: The direction of the rotation of the gears is shown in Figure 3.
3.3
failure load stage
load stage in which the summed total width of scuffing damage on the active flank area of the 16 pinion
teeth exceeds one gear-tooth width, i.e. 20 mm
Note 1 to entry: Examples of flank damages for the purpose of the test method are shown in Figure 1.
4 Brief description of method
4.1 General principle
A set of test gears as defined in Clause 5, Tables 1 and 2, is run with the test lubricant at constant speed
for a fixed number of revolutions using dip-lubrication mode. Loading of the gear teeth is increased in
steps outlined in Table 3. Beginning with load stage 5, the initial oil temperature is controlled between
(90 ± 3) °C. During the test run of each load stage, the oil temperature is allowed to rise freely. After
load stage 4, the pinion tooth flanks are inspected for surface damage at the end of each load stage and
any changes in appearance are noted. A test is considered complete when either the failure criteria has
been met or when load stage 12 is run without meeting the failure criteria.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all local legislative and statutory requirements are
met.
NOTE It has been assumed by the compilers of this test method that anyone using the method will either
be fully trained and familiar with all normal engineering and laboratory practice, or will be under the direct
supervision of such a person.
WARNING — When the rig is running, there are long loaded shafts and highly stressed test gears
turning at high speed and precautions shall be taken to protect personnel.
WARNING — Protection from noise is also highly recommended.

NOTE 1 This figure describes the typical pinion tooth flank changes occurring in FZG tests. Changes in the
original surface condition (criss-cross grinding) can be described by their physical appearance. One and the
same type of flank damage can be described in different places in the world by using different terminology (e.g.
"scuffing", "scoring" and "severe wear"). In order to avoid misinterpretation of the pinion tooth flank changes
occurring during the test, typical examples of non-failure and failure are given.

4.2 Precision
The precision of the method has been evaluated according to ISO 5725-2 with three oils (two reference
oils and one oil from the market). The failure load stage of these oils covered the range 5 to 12 inclusive.
Values of repeatability, r, and reproducibility, R, as defined in ISO 5725-2, for this test procedure are:
r = 1 load stage
R = 2 load stages
NOTE The above precision results apply to the range of failure load stages 5 to 12.
5 Test materials
5.1 Test gears
A pair of type “A” gears with a specification according to Tables 1 and 2 shall be used for testing. Each
pair of test gears may be utilized twice for testing, using both tooth flanks as load-carrying flanks.
5.2 Cleaning fluid
Petroleum spirit conforming to ASTM D 235 shall be used.

gears include a tendency to high levels of dynamic loading due to increase of vibrations, which usually leads to
further damage by scuffing, pitting or tooth breakage.
3.2
FZG test condition A/8,3/90
test condition where A is the particular tooth form of the test gears, according to Table 1, 8,3 is the
speed at the pitch circle, in metres per second, and 90 is the initial oil temperature in degrees Celsius,
from load stage 5 and onward in the oil sump
Note 1 to entry: The direction of the rotation of the gears is shown in Figure 3.
3.3
failure load stage
load stage in which the summed total width of scuffing damage on the active flank area of the 16 pinion
teeth exceeds one gear-tooth width, i.e. 20 mm
Note 1 to entry: Examples of flank damages for the purpose of the test method are shown in Figure 1.
4 Brief description of method
4.1 General principle
A set of test gears as defined in Clause 5, Tables 1 and 2, is run with the test lubricant at constant speed
for a fixed number of revolutions using dip-lubrication mode. Loading of the gear teeth is increased in
steps outlined in Table 3. Beginning with load stage 5, the initial oil temperature is controlled between
(90 ± 3) °C. During the test run of each load stage, the oil temperature is allowed to rise freely. After
load stage 4, the pinion tooth flanks are inspected for surface damage at the end of each load stage and
any changes in appearance are noted. A test is considered complete when either the failure criteria has
been met or when load stage 12 is run without meeting the failure criteria.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all local legislative and statutory requirements are
met.
NOTE It has been assumed by the compilers of this test method that anyone using the method will either
be fully trained and familiar with all normal engineering and laboratory practice, or will be under the direct
supervision of such a person.
WARNING — When the rig is running, there are long loaded shafts and highly stressed test gears
turning at high speed and precautions shall be taken to protect personnel.
Protection from noise is also highly recommended.

NOTE This figure describes the typical pinion tooth flank changes occurring in FZG tests. Changes in the
original surface condition (criss-cross grinding) can be described by their physical appearance. One and the
same type of flank damage can be described in different places in the world by using different terminology (e.g.
"scuffing", "scoring" and "severe wear"). In order to avoid misinterpretation of the pinion tooth flank changes
occurring during the test, typical examples of non-failure and failure are given.

Introduction
The types of gear failures which can be influenced by the lubricant in use are scuffing, low-speed wear
and the gear-surface fatigue phenomena known as micro- and macropitting. In the gear design process,
these gear damages are taken into consideration by the use of specific lubricant and service-related
characteristic values. For an accurate, field-related selection of these values, adequate lubricant test
2
procedures are required. The FZG test procedures described in this document and other parts of
ISO 14635-2 and ISO 14635-3, can be regarded as tools for the determination of the lubricant-related
characteristic values to be introduced into the load-carrying capacity calculation of gears.
FZG test method A/8,3/90 for the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils described in this part of
ISO 14635document is typical for the majority of applications in industrial and marine gears. ISO 14635-
2 is related to the relative scuffing load-carrying capacity of oils of very high EP properties, as used for
the lubrication of automotive driveline components. Other FZG test procedures for the determination of
low-speed wear, micro- and macropitting load-carrying capacity of gears are already in a late state of
development. They canintended to be added later to the ISO 14635 series as further parts.

FZG test method A/8,3/90 for relative scuffing load-carrying
capacity of oils
1 Scope
3
This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine to determine the relative
load-carrying capacity of lubricating oils defined by the gear-surface damage known as scuffing. High
surface temperatures due to high surface pressures and sliding velocities can initiate the breakdown of
the lubricant films. This test method can be used to assess such lubricant breakdown under defined
conditions of temperature, high sliding velocity and stepwise increased load.

Note 2 to entry: Scuffing is a particularly severe form of damage to the gear-tooth surface in which seizure or
welding together of areas of tooth surface occur, due to absence or breakdown of a lubricant film between the
contacting tooth flanks of mating gears, typically caused by high temperature and high pressure. Scuffing is most
likely when surface velocities are high. Scuffing can also occur at relatively low sliding velocities when tooth-surface
pressures are high enough either generally or, because of uneven surface geometry and loading, in discrete areas.
Note 3 to entry: Risk of scuffing damage varies with the properties of gear materials, the lubricant used, the surface
roughness of tooth flanks, the sliding velocities and the load. Consequences of scuffing of high-speed gears include
a tendency to high levels of dynamic loading due to increase of vibrations, which usually leads to further damage by
scuffing, pitting or tooth breakage.

76 Apparatus
7.16.1 FZG spur-gear test rig
6.1.1 The FZG spur-gear test machine utilizesuses a recirculating power loop principle, also known as
a four-square configuration, to provide a fixed torque (load) to a pair of precision test gears. A schematic
view of the test rig is shown in Figures 2 and 3.Figures 2 and 3. The slave gearbox and the test gearbox
are connected through two torsional shafts. Shaft 1 contains a load coupling used to apply the torque
through the use of known weights defined in Table 3Table 3 hung on the loading arm.
6.1.2 The test gearbox contains heating elements to maintain and control the minimum temperature of
the oil. A temperature sensor located in the side of the test gearbox is used to control the heating system
as required by the test operating conditions.
6.1.3 The test machine is powered by an electric motor of minimum 5,5 kW at a speed of approximately
1 450 r/min.
6.1.4 A check list for maintenance of the FZG gear test rig is given for information in Annex B.Annex B.

A suitable counter shall be used to control the number of revolutions during each load stage of the test.
The counter should be capable of shutting down the test machine at the appropriate number of
revolutions.
87 Preparation of apparatus
7.1 Flush the test gear case twice with petroleum spirit, ensuring that the bearings are cleared of any
previous oil, and air dry with a water-free air line.
7.2 Clean the test gears in petroleum spirit and air dry, using finger stalls or gloves.
7.3 With the unaided eye, inspect the gears for corrosion, rust or any other damage. Reject the gears if
so damaged.
7.4 Heat both the gears to between 60 °C and max. 80 °C, with an appropriate heating device.
7.5 Assemble the test gear box (except the top cover) with the test pinion on shaft 1 (right-hand side)
and the test gear on shaft 2 (left-hand side) as shown in Figure 2.Figure 2. Ensure that the test pinion and
test wheel are correctly aligned, i.e. no offset.
7.6 Check that the switch drain cock is in the CLOSED position.
7.7 Fill the test gear box with a nominal 1,25 litrel of test oil.
7.8 Plug in the heater.
7.9 Fit and secure the top cover to the test gear box.
7.10 Apply load stage 12 using the 0,5 m radius position (see Table 3)Table 3) for 2 min to 3 min
without running the motor, in order to bring the test gears and the clearances in the system into the
correct working position.
