GEAR LUBRICANT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Design changes in equipment to increase efficiency are placing importance on correct gear lubrication. Gear systems are operating under heavier load conditions and higher RPMs. Many gear systems are being reduced in size but are forced to transmit more power. Petroleum gear oils have done a good lubrication job in most applications; however, recent equipment design changes have made it evident that synthetic gear oils are proving to be the only lubricant to offer sufficient gear train protection.

SF-400 series contains a combination of the latest technical advances in both Poly Alpha Olefins (SHC) base stocks and complex additive systems to ensure long-lasting superior protection. The superior oxidation stability of SF-400 Series gear lubricants allows longer intervals between oil changes. The thermal stability of these lubricants provides protection at elevated temperature levels where most petroleum oils fail.

Actual tests show that SF-400 can withstand 30% higher loads than petroleum gear oils. The superior anti-wear and extreme pressure properties of the synthetic base material of these lubricants are enhanced by proprietary additives to ensure low wear rates.

RECOMMENDED USAGE :

SF-400 Series gear lubricants are designed for all gearboxes. These lubricants are truly multipurpose gear oils with no compromise on performance. In dynamometer testing, SF-400 reduced friction sufficiently to allow almost a 10% increase in horsepower. Additionally, reduced friction provides a cooler running differential.
SF-400 has provided superior lubrication in gearboxes in heavy industry applications for over one year. The oil drain interval has been extended from the normal 6 months to over one year. Gear wear has proven to be extremely low, and operating temperatures have been greatly reduced.
