Truegard Gear Oil EP 68 is a high-performance extreme pressure (EP) industrial gear lubricant formulated to meet the rigorous demands of heavily loaded, enclosed gear drives. With an ISO viscosity grade of 68, this lubricant is engineered to provide reliable protection and efficient operation in a wide range of industrial applications.

Key Features and Benefits

·      Exceptional Wear Protection: Truegard Gear Oil EP 68 contains advanced sulfur-phosphorus based EP additives that form a resilient protective film on gear teeth surfaces. This film minimizes wear, extends equipment life, and ensures consistent performance under severe operating conditions.

·      Enhanced Load-Carrying Capability: The lubricant is specifically designed to handle heavy loads, reducing the risk of gear scuffing and pitting, even at high torque and shock loading situations.

·      Thermal Stability: Its robust formulation resists breakdown at elevated temperatures, maintaining optimal viscosity and lubricating properties to protect gears during prolonged, high-temperature operation.

·      Friction Reduction: Truegard Gear Oil EP 68 reduces friction between moving parts, resulting in smoother operation, lower energy consumption, and reduced heat generation within gear systems.

·      Corrosion and Rust Protection: The lubricant provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, safeguarding metal surfaces from moisture and contaminants commonly encountered in industrial environments.

Applications

This gear oil is ideally suited for use in a variety of enclosed industrial gear systems, including but not limited to:

·      Heavily loaded spur, helical, and bevel gears

·      Industrial gearboxes operating under extreme pressure and temperature conditions

·      Enclosed gear drives in manufacturing, mining, and processing industries

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • ISO VG 68 is a relatively light viscosity grade within the industrial gear oil range, generally suited for high-speed or moderately loaded enclosed gearboxes where the equipment manufacturer specifies an ISO 68 grade. Always confirm the required viscosity grade in your equipment's service manual or OEM documentation before selecting a gear oil.

  • This oil is formulated specifically for enclosed industrial gear drives, including heavily loaded spur, helical, and bevel gears, as well as industrial gearboxes operating under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. It is particularly well suited for applications in manufacturing, mining, and processing industries.

  • Standard gear oils rely primarily on viscosity for protection, but under heavy loads or shock loading, metal-to-metal contact can still occur. The sulfur-phosphorus EP additives in this oil form a chemically bonded protective film directly on gear tooth surfaces under those extreme conditions, actively preventing scuffing and pitting that a non-EP lubricant would not be able to stop.

  • A lubricant that breaks down under heat loses viscosity and protective film strength, leaving gear surfaces vulnerable. This oil's robust formulation resists that breakdown during prolonged high-temperature operation, meaning it continues to provide reliable lubrication rather than thinning out or oxidizing prematurely in continuously running industrial gear systems.

  • Yes, Truegard Gear Oil EP 68 provides dedicated rust and corrosion protection, guarding metal surfaces against moisture and contaminants commonly encountered in industrial settings such as mining and processing facilities where water ingress or condensation is a regular concern.

  • The friction-reducing properties of this lubricant promote smoother gear operation, which according to the product's formulation design results in lower energy consumption and reduced heat generation within the gear system. Over time, in continuously operating industrial machinery, this can contribute to measurable reductions in power draw and thermal load.
