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 indicates the oil has a kinematic viscosity of approximately 68 centistokes at 40°C, placing it on the lighter end of the industrial gear oil viscosity range. It is well-suited for enclosed gear drives operating at moderate to higher speeds; for very slow or extremely heavily loaded drives, your OEM may specify a higher grade. Always verify the recommended ISO viscosity grade in your gearbox manufacturer's documentation before selecting a lubricant.

  • EP stands for Extreme Pressure, meaning the oil contains additives - in this case sulfur-phosphorus based - that activate under high contact stress to form a protective film on gear tooth surfaces. This film directly prevents scuffing and pitting that can occur under high torque or shock loading conditions, which standard non-EP gear oils cannot adequately address.

  • This oil is specified for spur, helical, and bevel gear applications. Sulfur-phosphorus EP additives - which this formulation contains - can be chemically aggressive toward the copper alloys typically used in worm gear wheels. Consult your worm gear manufacturer's guidelines before using any EP-type oil in a worm gear drive.

  • TRUEGARD Gear Oil EP 68 is specifically formulated for enclosed industrial gear drives such as industrial gearboxes. Open gear systems typically require tacky or adhesive open-gear compounds that adhere to exposed surfaces; this product is not listed for open gear use and should not be substituted for purpose-formulated open gear lubricants.

  • The formulation is engineered to resist viscosity breakdown at elevated temperatures, which means it maintains a consistent lubricating film during prolonged high-temperature operation rather than thinning out and leaving gear surfaces under-protected. This is especially important in manufacturing, mining, and processing environments where gearboxes may run continuously under heavy load.
