The Truegard EP gear oil range represents a line of high-quality synthetic lubricants engineered to deliver superior protection and performance in the most challenging environments. These lubricants are formulated using advanced poly-alphaolefin (PAO) base fluids, coupled with state-of-the-art sulfur/phosphorus extreme pressure (EP) additive technology. This combination ensures excellent thermal stability, outstanding load carrying capacity, and reliable gear protection under severe operating conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

·      Superior Thermal Stability: PAO base fluids provide resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, promoting longer oil life and reduced maintenance intervals.

·      High Load Carrying Capacity: Sulfur/phosphorus EP additives safeguard gear surfaces against wear, scuffing, and micro-pitting, even under heavy and shock-loaded conditions.

·      Wide Temperature Range: The inherently high viscosity index and low pour points of PAO base stocks ensure effective lubrication from extremely low to high ambient temperatures.

·      Seal Compatibility: Fully compatible with nitrile, silicone, and fluropolymer seal materials, supporting extended equipment reliability.

·      DIN CLP Classification: The Truegard EP range meets the stringent DIN CLP classification, attesting to its quality and performance standards.

Applications

The Truegard EP gear oil range is designed for use in all types of enclosed gears, including those subjected to heavy and shock loads, as well as bearings where EP properties are essential. These lubricants are particularly suitable for gearboxes requiring micro-pitting resistance and for a wide array of industrial applications operating in extreme environments, such as:

·      Mining and Quarrying

·      Marine Equipment

·      Paper Production Machinery

·      General Industrial Gearboxes

The advanced formulation ensures consistent performance and protection, helping to maximize equipment uptime and reduce overall operating costs. With its robust additive system and premium synthetic base, Truegard EP gear oil is the preferred choice for professionals seeking reliability, durability, and versatility in gear lubrication.

Specifications and Approvals

Truegard EP gear oils are classified under DIN CLP and are engineered to meet or exceed the requirements of major gear oil standards and OEM specifications. For detailed approvals and compatibility information, please consult the product datasheet or contact your Truegard representative.

 

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • ISO VG 320 indicates a nominal kinematic viscosity of approximately 320 centistokes at 40°C, which is a higher-viscosity grade typically specified for moderate- to low-speed, heavily loaded enclosed gearboxes. Always check your equipment's OEM manual or nameplate for the recommended ISO viscosity grade before selecting a gear oil, as using the wrong grade can affect gear film thickness and protection.

  • DIN CLP is a recognized European/international designation for gear oils formulated with extreme pressure (EP) additives for use in enclosed, splash-lubricated gear systems. Meeting this classification confirms the oil has been engineered to a standardized performance benchmark for load-carrying, wear protection, and thermal stability, making it a verifiable choice for industrial gearboxes that require EP-rated lubricants.

  • While PAO synthetics are generally physically compatible with mineral oils, mixing them dilutes the performance advantages of the synthetic formulation, particularly its thermal stability and extended service life. Best practice when switching to this synthetic is to drain the existing oil and flush the system thoroughly before filling with the Truegard EP 320.

  • The product is formulated for enclosed gear systems under heavy and shock loads, but the listing does not state specific approval for worm gear applications. Sulfur/phosphorus EP additives can potentially react with the copper-based alloys commonly used in worm gear drives, so it is important to consult the product datasheet or contact Truegard directly to confirm compatibility before using this oil in a worm gear application.

  • PAO base fluids have a naturally high viscosity index, meaning the oil's viscosity remains more stable across a wide temperature range compared to mineral oil, providing better protection during cold starts and under high operating temperatures. Combined with superior oxidation and thermal degradation resistance, this translates to longer drain intervals, reduced maintenance frequency, and more reliable gear protection in demanding industrial environments.

  • This oil is confirmed compatible with nitrile, silicone, and fluoropolymer seal materials. Seal compatibility is critical because an incompatible lubricant can cause seals to swell, shrink, or harden over time, leading to leaks and equipment damage. If your gearbox uses a different elastomer type, consult the product datasheet or your Truegard representative before filling.
