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

By Lessie Kaufman





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.



Modern drive-trains are increasingly complex, using sophisticated high-tech materials that contribute to more efficient power transfer. These drive-trains require fluids that are specifically designed to improve friction performance, material compatibility, wear protection, and oxidation stability. Super Lube Supreme not only meets but exceeds these criteria; it extends the life of the power-shift transmission friction discs, improves shift handling, and reduces wear.



Fluids used to lubricate power-shift transmissions need to contain the right type of additive system. The wrong type will have many detrimental effects; non-metallic components are attacked, resulting in the static and dynamic friction coefficients, required for the proper operation of components, becoming altered, and sticking or slipping of the transmission will develop, as well as noise. The safety of wet brakes will be compromised, resulting in longer stopping distances, and sticking or slipping when the vehicle is parked.



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.



Super Lube Supreme, specially formulated for the lubrication of power-shift transmissions, is suitable for use in transmissions that require a C-4 fluid, such as Allison transmissions, as well as Meritor and Eaton-Roadranger transmissions. It should not be used in diesel engines, as it will result in heavy deposits on the pistons that will shorten the life of these engines.
