Description

Castrol Tribol™ GR ALR 100-00 PD high-performance grease is based on fully synthetic base oil and a Lithium complex thickener system, enhanced with the MicroFlux Trans (MFT) additive system.

Castrol's Microflux Trans (MFT) Plastic Deformation (PD) additive helps improve performance when operating temperature and loads reach a certain level of activation energy, by enabling the micro-smoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear. The smoothed surface delivers optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction, especially in applications which experience extreme pressure, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds. This helps with extended lubricant life and prolong relubrication intervals.

MFT PD helps to protect against scuffing and shock loading, while maintaining a high load carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears.

Application

Castrol Tribol GR ALR 100-00 PD was developed for use in robot gear systems where grease lubrication is preferred over lubrication by gear oil. The combination of synthetic base fluid and lithium complex thickener system and the MFT-PD additive system makes it particularly suited to a wide application temperature range.

Low temperature performance is accurately measured for this type of flow grease by Rheometer measurement down to -40°C designed for easier start up at low temperatures (Also measured in the low temperature torque test).

The MFT-PD additive system will help to maintain a stable backlash, which is required for high-precision robot-gears.

Tribol GR ALR 100-00 PD has a base oil viscosity of 100 mm²/s and an NLGI grade of 00. This combination provides a lower bleed rate than other commercially available greases avoiding oil leakages and a high base oil viscosity giving the gear box more protection.

Tested with various elastomer seal material (95°C for 1008 hours), Tribol GR ALR 100-00 PD has excellent elastomer compatibility.
