CASTROL Tribol 1510/320

Description

Castrol Tribol™ 1510 gear oils with TGOA represent a significant advancement in gear oil technology. TGOA is an additive

package designed to reduce friction while providing surface improvement and protection. The TGOA additive package can

outperform most other EP and anti-wear additives because of its unique action on friction surfaces.

The synthetic base fluid in these gear oils is a polyalphaolefin which can be used in a wide temperature range. It is

compatible with sealing mineral oils. Blended into this is the latest development in the field of surface improving additive

technology designated TGOA. The TGOA additive package is activated by relatively high specific loads and corresponding

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

abrasion. This process can be compared with a rolling process. The surface roughness is gradually leveled and

smoothed.

Through smoothing of the working surfaces the actual load carrying area is enlarged. During the running-in process, the

TGOA package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces. If, because of shock loads or stopand-go operation,

surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again

smoothed and lubrication optimized.

Application

TRIBOL 1510 gear oils may be used in a wide temperature range. They are most valuable during the running-in

process as well as in applications where the surfaces have already been damaged in the micro-range.

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

couplings, rolling and sliding bearings as well as in gear drive circulating systems.

Advantages

Considerable decrease in maintenance costs by prolonged service life of lubricant and machine parts.

The excellent friction reducing characteristics are demonstrated through the results of the FZG test (damage load

stage > 14)

Micropitting load capability: high (stage 10)

Regenerating of damaged friction surfaces on a micro-scale range.

Reduced friction and consequently reduced wear.

Reduced operating temperature.

Lower noise level.

Longer life of gearings and bearings.

Running-in oils or additives may no longer be required.

Preventing and stopping of running-in pittings – if not caused by faulty design or heavy loading of gears.

Due to synthetic base fluid excellent oxidation stability ensures the formation of a pressure-stable lube film over a

wide temperature range thus providing excellent anti-wear protection.
