Schaeffer Lubricants Offers Super Lube Supreme For Use In Power-Shift Transmissions Of Heavy Equipment

Super Lube Supreme is a specially formulated lubricant that protects the hydraulic systems and drive-trains of many types of large machinery found in the mining or construction industry. Manufactured by schaeffer lubricants, is is ideal for the lubrication of bulldozers and other crawler tractors, front end loaders, haul trucks, and more.

Drive-trains used in today's equipment are highly sophisticated, and utilize advanced materials that allow for improved power transfer. They need specially designed fluids so that friction performance, oxidation stability, wear protection, and material compatibility are improved. Super Lube Supreme actually does more than these minimum requirements; it contributes to a longer life for the friction discs in power-shift transmissions, better shift handling, and reduction of wear.

The kind of additive system used with lubricating fluids for power-shift transmissions is important. If the wrong kind is used, negative effects will occur. The non-metal parts will wear out and, in turn, will cause changes in static and dynamic friction performance and, hence, parts will operate less efficiently. The transmission will begin to slip or stick, and become noisy. Wet brakes won't be as safe; stopping distances become longer, and the parked vehicle will be prone to a slipping or sticking transmission.

Super Lube Supreme is a blend of the finest synthetic base fluids and pure paraffin base oils. Such a unique combination offers superior oxidative and thermal stability, superior resistance to thermal degradation, and reduced volatility. A special non-corrosive additive, which forms a solid lubricant film on the metallic surfaces, is mixed into this para-synthetic base fluid; it provides protection from wear and prolongs the life of the equipment.

Super Lube Supreme, in combination with the special additive, delivers many performance benefits. The friction between the non-metallic and metallic parts of a power-shift transmission becomes more stable and is better controlled. There is also an elimination of noise, and the build up of sludge and varnish, which eventually leads to damage of the seals and clutch, is prevented or removed due to the high oxidative and thermal stability of the fluid.

Super Lube Supreme's unique composition helps eliminate problems with clutch slippage, even for heavy loads and uphill driving. The clutch can be maintained at the correct setting without needing to constantly adjust the equipment. This stay-in-grade lubricant is suitable for use with all widely used elastomeric materials and seals, and possesses superb shear stability, enabling it to protect transmissions against long term fatigue.

Super Lube Supreme is resistant to foaming; air will not mix with the fluid, which allows metallic components to come into direct contact and cause wear. It is also great against the corrosion of copper and rust. Vehicles will start more quickly when it is cold, thanks to the lubricant's excellent low temperature fluidity, and it will also protect against wear at these temperatures. Equipment life is longer, and equipment will operate without any problems; this results in less downtime and longer drain intervals.

For the best quality in lubrication of power-shift transmissions, Super Lube Supreme is specially formulated for the job. It can be used in Allison transmissions, or other transmissions that need a C-4 fluid. It can also be used in Meritor or Eaton-Roadranger transmissions. However, it is not suitable for diesel engines, as the pistons will accumulate heavy deposits that will cause excessive wear on these engines.
