Description:

Castrol Tribol® 1100 Gear Oils with the TGOA addtive system represent a singnificant advancement in gear oil technology. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, journals, and antifriction bearings, Castrol Tribol® 1100 Gear Oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail. 

Castrol Tribol® 1100 Gear Oils are manufactured from the highest quality pretroleum base oils. Blended into this oil is the latest developement in the filed 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 roughnesses are 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 roughnesses are gradually leveled and smoothed. Through this smoothing action, the actual load-bearing area is enlarged with the loads being distributed over increasing areas. Therefore the actual load per unit of working area decreases. 

If surface roughness peaks redeveloped because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughnesses are again smoothed and lubrication optimized.

Castrol Tribol® 1100’s have passed the harsh Cincinnati Milacron Thermal Stability Test. This test evaluates copped and steel corrosion and oxidation stability. Castrol Tribol® 1100 Gear Oils are approved as P 74, P 59, and P 35 for the ISO 220, 320, and 460 grades respectively. 

Applications:

Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel, and planetary gears. They are also used in general couplings and where fine filtration is required. Castrol Tribol® 1100 Gear Oils may be used in antifriction and journal bearings and applied by oil mist systems. 

Castrol 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 TGOA’s highly protective lubricating film the following advantages can be obtained: ?

• Reduced friction ?
• Reduced wear ?
• Lower operating 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 ?
• Higher profitability
