Gulf EP Gear Lubricants HD

Gulf EP Gear Lubricants HD is a range of light colored premium quality heavy duty industrial gear oils which have been developed for the lubrication of enclosed gears working under severe operating conditions. They are formulated from the highest quality paraffinic base oils and incorporate sulfur-phosphorus type extreme pressure and other agents that provide excellent protection against foaming, rust and corrosion.
Gulf EP Gear Lubricants HD are approved by Sumitomo Heavy Industries and exceed the following performance specifications:DIN 51517 Part 3,U.S. Steel 224 and David Brown S1.53 101

Application Requirements

Modern, highly rated industrial gear units frequently have high tooth loadings resulting from the transmission of greater power through smaller and more compact units. Consequently, gear oils must have superior load carrying and friction reducing properties together with high resistance to oxidation. Gulf EP Gear Lubricant HD ensures optimum gear wear characteristics and protection against rust and corrosion. The sulfur-phosphorus agent is resistant to chemical degradation due to the effects of heat and allows Gulf EP Gear Lubricant HD to be used at temperatures up to 105 °C. RecommendationsGulf Gear EP Lubricants HD are primarily recommended for enclosed industrial gear units operating under severe shock loading conditions. They may be used in enclosed spur, helical, bevel and worm gears; their frictional characteristics are particularly beneficial in worm gears.The oil viscosity selected should be based on operating conditions such as speed, operating temperature, loading and method of lubrication. Gulf Gear EP Lubricants HD are equally suitable for the lubrication of many types of heavily loaded plain or anti-friction bearings operating under shock loading conditions.
