SEW-Eurodrive GearOil is now available as an option with its heavy industry gear units. This synthetic lubricant, formulated and tested by SEW-Eurodrive engineers specifically for SEW-Eurodrive gear geometries and thermal loads, is now offered as part of the factory build and service ecosystem for products such as the X.e and MC-series gear units.  “This marks a significant evolution in how we deliver our industrial gear solutions,” said Austin Burdette, IG product manager, SEW-Eurodrive, USA. “By offering GearOil by SEW-Eurodrive directly within our heavy-duty gearbox line, we’re giving customers a complete, performance-optimized system from day one.”  GearOil is a high-performance synthetic oil designed to meet the mechanical, thermal and sealing requirements of SEW-Eurodrive’s most demanding gear units. It ensures longer life, fewer oil changes, and greater thermal stability, especially in applications where uptime is critical.  Key benefits include:   

• Optimized wear protection from startup through full duty cycle  

• Exceptional thermal performance—ideal for splash, pressure, or oil-to-air cooled systems

• System-wide compatibility - fully compatible with SEW-Eurodrive’s pressure lubrication systems, splash lubrication configurations and oil-to-air cooling assemblies.  

 • Eliminates the initial 500-hour oil change on X.e and MC-series gear units.  

 • GearOil is now stocked in the U.S. for simplified service and refill  

 GearOil is now available in:  

 • New builds of X.e and MC series gear units, and other heavy industrial gearboxes  

 • SEW-EURODRIVE assembly centers in North America  

 • 205L (55-gallon) drums for aftermarket service and planned maintenance  

 • Available as part of SEW-EURODRIVE service kits for long-term support 

This integrated solution is ideal for applications such as:  

 • Mining and aggregate conveyors

• Steel and metals processing  

• Pulp and paper manufacturing  

• Water treatment and energy systems  

• Any environment where uptime and reliability are non-negotiable
