EUTECTIC GEAR OIL ISO 5000 Drum Enclosed Gear Oils

Eutectic gear oil is formulated for use in all gearboxes, but especially where excessive wear and short component life drive up operating costs.

Inadequately lubricated gears and bearings can experience scuffing under high load. Scuffing occurs when the tips of opposing asperities momentarily weld. The anti-wear additive system used in Eutectic gear oil stops scuffing by forming a protective chemical layer in the area of contact. The surfaces continue to experience high load, but rather than micro welding, they are made smoother by the pressure.

The eutectic smoothing effect of Eutectic gear oil will also partially flatten pre-existing wear damage, usually within a few hundred hours of operation. Condemned equipment can stay in service indefinitely, or until a scheduled shutdown.

Pitting is also stopped by the use of Eutectic gear oil. Pitting is caused by metal fatigue and metal fatigue is minimized when the load is carried by a smoother surface. Some “initial pitting” may still occur, especially where there is misalignment. Eutectic gear oils are not lapping compounds and do not contain any solid materials.

BENEFITS:

• INNOVATIVE ADDITIVE CHEMISTRY – promotes rapid runin and smoothing of contact surfaces.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE – free from stringent storage and disposal requirements of the EPA Hazardous Waste Law.
• EXTENDED DRAIN INTERVALS – greatly reduced sludge and wear particles.

APPLICATIONS:

Eutectic enclosed gear oils may be used in any gearbox where extreme pressure additives are recommended. They are especially recommended for units operating under very high load, shock load, or reversing action. Also recommended for gears which have previously been wear-damaged.

Eutectic 5000 is recommended for open gears of sugar mills, kilns and dryers, especially where lubrication is by dip system or oiler wheel.

All viscosity grades of Eutectic meet the requirements of DIN 51517-3.
