CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710
Semi-synthetic gear oils
DESCRIPTION
CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 gear oils with TGOA® represent a significant advancement in gear oil
technology. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, rolling and sliding bearings, CASTROL
TRIBOL® 1710 gear oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail.
· CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 gear oils are manufactured from the highest quality mineral base oils
and synthetic polyalphaolefins. Blended into these oils is TGOA®, the latest development in the field
of surface improving additives.
· The TGOA® additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding
temperatures, causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface
roughness without creating abrasion.
· The results of the TGOA® additives may be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range.
Surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed.
· Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are distributed over larger areas.
· If due to shock loads or stop-and-go operation surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA®
additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again equalized and lubrication
optimized.
· CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 gear oils are available in viscosity grades of ISO VG 100, 220, 320
and 460.
APPLICATIONS
· Typical applications are in spur, helical, herringbone, bevel and planetary gears as well as in
geared couplings, rolling and sliding bearings and in gear drive circulating systems
· Depending on the application CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 may be used in a temperature range
from –30°C up to +95°C
ADVANTAGES
· load stage >14 is being passed in the FZG test
· high load carrying capacity (FZG micropitting test passed)
· running-in pitting is prevented or stopped, unless caused by poor design or heavy overloading of
the gears
· lapping of gears is no longer necessary
· regeneration of damaged friction surfaces occurs on a micro-scale
· lower operating temperature and noise level
· extended service life of gears and bearings as well as reduced maintenance costs
· high viscosity-index allows start-ups at low temperatures due to the lower viscosity and allows
build-up of a lubricant film with sufficient thickness at high temperatures

Notes for use
· CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 semi-synthetic gear oils are compatible with mineral oils and esters.
· This means that traces up to 3% of previous oil in the gear case after draining will not pose any
problems. However, the beneficial effects of the TGOA® additives are reduced, when CASTROL
TRIBOL® 1710 oils are mixed with other gear oils.
· CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 oils are not compatible with polyglycols. After draining a polyglycol
fill, the gear case must be flushed well with a mineral oil or flushing oil.
· Quality Standard: CASTROL TRIBOL® 1710 are CLP-HC gear oils (DIN 51502) and exceed
minimum requirements according to DIN 51517 T.3. |
