Problems solved by technology

At low sliding velocities this clutch is prone to stick and then slip in a repetitive fashion unless a lubricant with the proper frictional characteristics is used.
This stick-slip effect is very objectionable as it can result in loud chatter noises and severe vibration.
When too much torque has built up without sliding, the wedges break the momentary welds formed.
Malfunctioning power dividers can result in broken axles.
Large, medium-speed diesel engines often contain silver protected components, such as bearings, and, as such, the lubricating oils may not contain the typical zinc containing wear inhibitors which attack the silver coated parts.
As a result, these base oils are compositionally very different from conventional solvent refined basestocks.
These methods, however, generally only produce low molecular weight oligomers.

Embodiment Construction

[0097] The following Examples demonstrate the improvements in Axle Efficiency and the reduction in axle sump temperatures obtained by using the lubricating compositions of the present invention. Mineral oil based SAE 80W-90 gear oils were prepared comprising 8.25 wt. % of a gear additive package containing a non-phosphorylated dispersant meeting the requirements of API GL-5 and MIL-PRF-2105E, 15 wt. % of a diester seal swell agent, 20 wt. % of a polyisobutene viscosity modifier, 10 wt. % of a 100 cSt PAO viscosity modifier and the additional components set forth in the following Table. All of the gear oil formulations contained a hydrotreated 70 N mineral oil in an amount to bring the total of all components to 100 wt. %. The phosphorus-containing dispersant used in the examples was a phosphorus and boron containing polyisobutenyl (PIB) succinimide dispersant, wherein the PIB had a number average molecular weight of approximately 900 and was prepared substantially as described in Ex...

Abstract

Mixtures of the reaction product of at least one C5-C60 carboxylic acid and at least one amine selected from the group consisting of guanidine, aminoguanidine, urea, thioruea and salts thereof and a phosphorus-containing dispersant are useful as gear oil additives. Lubricant formulations containing said mixtures exhibit excellent low and high temperature rheology and are particularly suited for use in automotive and industrial gear applications. Lubricants of the present invention exhibit improved performance properties such as increased axle efficiencies and lower axle temperatures compared to lubricant formulations that do not contain said mixtures.

Description

[0001] This application is a Continuation-In-Part application of Ser. No. 09 / 665,571 filed Sep. 19, 2000.[0002] This invention relates to lubricant formulations containing mixtures of i) the reaction product of at least one C.sub.5-C.sub.60 carboxylic acid and at least one amine selected from the group consisting of guanidine, aminoguanidine, urea, thioruea and salts thereof and ii) phosphorus-containing dispersants. The lubricant formulations of the present invention exhibit excellent low and high temperature rheology and are particularly suited for use in automotive and industrial gear applications. Lubricants of the present invention exhibit improved performance properties, such as increased axle efficiencies and lower axle temperatures, compared to lubricant formulations that do not contain said mixtures.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0003] The primary function of a gear lubricant is to provide a high degree of reliability and durability in the service life of gear equipment. Gear lubri...
