Industrial Gear Oils – Extreme Pressure

Industrial Gear Oil
Spectra Industrial Gear Oils are a premium quality, extreme pressure oils designed primarily for the lubrication of heavy-duty industrial gear drives. They have a high loading capacity and excellent protection against wear. Further to that, they have a good corrosion and rust protection, good wetting capabilities, quick water, and air release properties. They are formulated using high viscosity index, solvent refined, base oils and incorporate a special sulphur-phosphorus additive to provide an extreme pressure performance significantly better than that provided by leaded-by-leaded gear oils.

APPLICATIONS

Spectra Industrial Gear Oils are for the lubrication of all industrial gear drives of any type and construction. Typical examples are;

  • Steel gear transmissions
  • Industrial gear drives where a full EP performance is required
  • Bearings
  • Circulating and splash lubricated systems

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

  • Excellent load carrying and anti-friction characteristicsReduces gear tooth and bearing wear on both steel and bronze componentsIndustrial Gear OilsExtreme Pressure
  • Outstanding oxidation and thermal stability Withstands high thermal loading and resists the formation of sludge and other harmful products of oxidation. Extended oil life even with bulk oil temperatures up to 100oC in certain applications
  • Effective corrosion inhibitionProtects both steel and bronze components, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids
  • Lead-freeOperator acceptability. Reduced health risk
  • Wide range of viscositiesCaters for the most varied and arduous industrial applications”
  • Water shedding properties – Spectra Industrial Gear Oils have excellent water separation properties. Excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems. (Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue on gears and bearings as well as promoting ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Water contamination should be avoided or removed as quickly as possible after occurrence)

PERFROMANCE BENEFITS

Maintains gear set efficiencies – High thermal stability EP system maintains clean gear and bearing surfaces, minimizing deposits which interfere with effective lubrication. High oxidation stability limits in-service viscosity increases, which lead to energy losses.

Protects metal surfaces – Extremely effective EP system forms a protective film in areas of metal-to-metal contact, minimizing wear rates and maintaining efficient transfer of power. Good water separation and effective rust inhibitors protect surfaces against rust and corrosion. High thermal stability additive system reduces the formation of high temperature compounds which can be corrosive to bearing materials. The effective corrosion inhibitor provides additional protection for metal components.

Effective oxidation stability – Effective oxidation inhibitors and copper passivator minimize oil oxidation, limiting viscosity increase and can extend oil drain intervals.
