Synthetic Gear Oils (with TGOA?)
Description
Castrol TribolTM 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils with the TGOA additive system represent a significant
advancement in synthetic gear oil technology. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, journals,
and antifriction bearings, Tribol 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils are typically used where heavy shock load
conditions prevail and operating temperatures are high.
Tribol 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils are manufactured from synthetic hydrocarbon (SHC) base fluids
(polyalphaolefin)., Blended into this fluid is the latest development in the field of surface improving
additives designated TGOA. TGOA is an oil soluble additive package designed to reduce friction while
providing surface protection and improvement. The TGOA additive package offers superior
performance because of its unique action on frictional surfaces.
TGOA works by establishing a highly protective metal rich lubricating film. This film is formed by the
reaction of TGOA additives due to frictional heat and the catalytic action of metallic surfaces. The
results are a smoothing of surface roughness without creating abrasion. Therefore, surface roughness
is reduced without the usual loss of surface material.
The results of the TGOA process can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The
surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed. Through this smoothing action, the actual loadbearing
is enlarged with the loads being distributed over increasing areas. Therefore the actual load per
unit of working area decreases.
If the roughness peaks redevelop because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, the TGOA additive
package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimized.
Tribol 1510’s have passed fourteen stages on the FZG Test Rig. Visual inspection after load stage 12
showed gear tooth flanks like new.
Application
Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel, and planetary gears operating at high
temperatures. The continuous operating temperature range is from -300C to 900C with intermittent use
to 950C. They are also used in geared couplings and where fine filtration is required.
Tribol 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils may be used in antifriction and journal bearings.
fill of the equipment. They have also been proven to be effective in applications where surfaces
have previously been damaged in service.
Advantages
Because of TGOA抯 highly protective lubricating film the following advantages can be obtained:
?Reduced friction
?Reduced wear
?Lower operation temperature
?Lower noise level
?Reduced pitting if not caused by design or heavy overloading
As a result of the TGOA advantage the following benefits can be derived:
?Longer gear and bearing life
?Reduced maintenance costs
?Greater productivity
?High profitability
Notes for Use
Tribol 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils are compatible with petroleum oils and esters. This means that traces
(up to 3%) of previous oil remaining in the gearcase after draining should not pose problems. However,
the beneficial effects of the TGOA additives are reduced when 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils are mixed with
other oils.
Tribol 1510 Synthetic Gear Oils are not compatible with polyglycols. After draining a polyglycol fluid, the
gearcase must be flushed well with a petroleum oil (flushing oil).
A thorough cleaning of the gearbox is highly recommended to achieve the maximum benefits of Tribol
1510 Synthetic Gear Oils.
