Black, adhesive, semi-fluid grease specifically designed for lubrication of traction motor gear cases of diesel-electric locomotives. Contains a lithium thickener, very high viscosity base fluid and special EP additive system.


RECOMMENDED FOR

Traction motor gear cases (incorporating appropriate seal designs) where semi-fluid grease type lubricants are specified

Older non sealed traction motor designs that normally use heavy residual type gear lubricants, where the higher leakage rate that may result is acceptable

Slow to medium speed industrial gear applications where an EP semi-fluid grease is recommended

Usable temperature range in continuous service is -5 to 100C.


PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Approved against General Motors EMD Specification EMS 1045


PRODUCT BENEFITS

Minimises downtime
High film strength and EP additive package protects heavily loaded gears from wear and scuffing. Good low temperature fluidity ensures that effective lubrication is maintained under cold start-up conditions.

Long service life
Excellent oxidation resistance minimises thickening in high temperature service, while high base oil viscosity and adhesiveness reduce the tendency to leak from the gear case.

Enhanced equipment protection
Effective corrosion inhibitors protect gear components from rusting in wet conditions.
