Vanguard
Proven performance Compounded Industrial Gear and Steam Cylinder Oil
Vanguard is a proven performance compounded industrial gear and steam cylinder oil. This high viscosity oil is formulated for use in steam cylinder and valve lubrication where steam is wet or of poor quality.
- Heavily loaded industrial worm gear sets
- Low speed, heavily loaded spur and helical gears
- Low speed or high temperature bearings
- Steam cylinder and valve lubrication where the steam is wet or of poor quality. See below:
- Vanguard ISO 460 Grade:
- Saturated steam applications at pressures in the range 700 to 1000 kPa (100 to 150 lbf/in²)
- Vanguard ISO 680 Grade:
- Poor quality steam at pressures in the range up to 1000 kPa (100 to 150 lbf/in²)
- Tough high viscosity oil film resists wear in worm gears, steam cylinders and valves
- Robust rust and corrosion resistance improves component reliability and service life
- Reliable steam and condensate separation increases lubrication performance
- Good atomizing properties ensure even lubricant distribution over cylinder wall and piston rod surfaces
- Oxidation stability resists thermal breakdown
- Good foam suppression ensures smooth lubricant delivery
