Castrol Molub-Alloy GM Gear oils (Previously called Molub-Alloy Gear oils) were developed for the lubrication of enclosed gears. They are manufactured from the highest quality components that have been carefully selected for their compatibility with Molub-Alloy GM lubricating solids. Load carrying capabilities are derived from Molub-Alloy GM's formulation and the proprietary blend of lubricating solids. The lubricating solids are treated to increase their natural affinity for metal surfaces. Also, they are completely dispersed to assure effectiveness over the life of the oil. Rust and oxidation inhibiting characteristics are maximized to afford effective rust protection and long service life.
Advantages
- Reduced friction, most evident under boundary conditions, is directly attributed to the presence of specially compounded lubricating solids. This benefit is most pronounced where frequent start-up, slow speeds, and high and unexpected loads are encountered.
- The establishment of a protective layer of Molub-Alloy GM solids provides substantial increase in the working life of both parts and lubricant. This increases load bearing area which can reduce unit pressures operating temperatures, and wear.
- Realistic energy savings are possible through a reduction in peak power demand during cold start-up.
- Seal leakage is greatly reduced. Only compatible base oils that control rubber swelling tendencies are used. The Molub-Alloy GM solids lubricate and improve seal contact surfaces.
- Overall savings are derived from the above and result from less labour and downtime, smoother, more efficient operation with longer parts life, and extended lubrication cycles
