Abstract
Lubricant compositions adapted for use in lubricating traction motor gears comprising a major proportion of a base oil such as a mineral oil, and a minor proportion of an oil soluble polymer such as a polyisobutylene.
Claims5
A lubricant grease composition for use in lubricating traction motor gears employed in Diesel locomotives, comprising:
- about 80% to about 96% by weight of a mineral oil having a viscosity of about 140 to about 225 SUS at 210.degree. F.;
- about 5% to about 20% by weight of an oil soluble polymer having a molecular weight of about 5000 to about 140,000 Staudinger;
- about 1% to about 10% by weight of a metal substituted dialkyl- or diaryl-dithiophosphate, or a metal substituted dialky-dithiocarbamate, or an aromatic amine about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of a polymethylacrylate or alkylated styrene pour depressant;
- and about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of an organosilicone antifoaming agent;
- said composition being in the form of a grease having extreme pressure properties which enable it to remain stable after prolonged use at the high pressures and temperatures encountered in traction motor gears of Diesel locomotives, and being capable of providing excellent lubrication at freezing or below freezing termperatures.
