CASTROL Tribol 1100 Range

Description

Castrol Tribol ™ 1100 gear oils with the TGOA ™ (Tribol Gear Oil Additive) additive system represent a significant

advancement in gear oil technology. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, journals, and antifriction bearings,

Tribol 1100 gear oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail. Tribol 1100 gear oils are

manufactured from the highest quality petroleum base oils. Blended into this oil 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. The TGOA additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding

temperatures causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without

creating abrasion. Therefore, surface roughness is reduced without the loss of surface material. The results of the

TGOA additives can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The surface roughness is gradually leveled

and smoothed. Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over increasing areas and the

actual load carrying area is enlarged. If surface 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 1100 range has passed the Cincinnati Milacron Thermal Stability Test. This test evaluates

copper and steel corrosion and oxidation stability. Tribol 1100 gear oils are approved as P 74, P 59, and P 35 for the ISO

220, 320, and 460 grades respectively. These oils exceed minimum requirements according to DIN 51517 Part. 3 for

CLP gear oils

Application

Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel, and planetary gears. They are also used in general couplings

and where fine filtration is required. Tribol 1100 gear oils may be used in antifriction and journal bearings and applied by

oil mist systems. Tribol 1100 gear oils with the TGOA additive package are most effective when used from the initial fill of

the equipment. It has also proven to be effective in applications where surfaces have previously been damaged in

service.

Advantages

Because of equalization of surface roughness on interacting surfaces, the following advantages can be obtained:

• Running-in oils or additives are no longer required. Lapping of gears is no longer necessary.

Regeneration of

damaged frictional surfaces on a micro-scale.

Less friction.

Reduced wear

• Lower operating temperature.

Decreased noise level.

• Longer life of gears and bearings.

• Reduced maintenance cost.
