Revolutionary compensatory thermostat action oil

Omega 690 is a revolutionary CTA (Compensatory Thermostat Action) gear oil that surpasses the API GL-5 and GL-6 requirements.

Sovereign Lubricants and Seals have been selling OMEGA lubricants in the U.K for over 20 years, many of their most valued customers are still thriving in business, with machinery running 24/7.

One such customer is Belden CDT who are a world class manufacturer of a broad range of cabling and connectivity components and structured cabling systems.

Because of the complexity of the manufacturing process and the tight delivery deadlines machinery is expected to run continuously and no break-downs are expected, (despite the age of some of the machinery) the gear boxes have been running for 11 years with the same gear oil, it has not been changed in all that time, only small top ups are needed when oil is drained off for testing.

The oil protects and follows gear trains tenaciously to prevent dry gears.

It has complete resistance against water wash and contamination.

Noise and temperature reduction is the gear systems is usual due to the un-paralleled lubricity.

Once a year a small sample of the gear oil in every gear box in the Belden CDT factory is drained off and sent to an independent labouratory for analysis, the contaminants and wear metals in the oil are recorded and a recommendation sent back as to whether the oil is in need of replacement.

For 11 years running none of the oil in any of Belden CDT's gear boxes has needed replacing, a large ammount of gear boxes are tested, proof that Omega 690 really is the ultimate gear box lubricant.

Omega 690 is a revolutionary CTA (Compensatory Thermostat Action) gear oil that surpasses the API GL-5 and GL-6 requirements.

In general even the best ordinary gear oils can barely attain the GL-4 (or at the very best GL-5 requirements) and very rarely can oils meet the API GL-6 standard.

Omega 690 has a marked ability to follow a gear train and stay in position.

It retains a fine film on the metal surface regardless of how thoroughly it is wiped away.

This ensures that Omega 690 is performing even if the oil is not covering the gears (as with ordinary gear oils which migrate away from the surface).

They leave the friction surface exposed to direct and un-protected contact which lends itself to oxidation that causes corrosion.

Omega 690 contains billions of extremely sensitive, micro thermostat action Megalite polymers that compensate for the natural tendencies of an oil to thin out or thicken when subjected to high and low temperature fluctuations respectively.

These polymers become expanded when the oil temperature is high and the oil therefore is thinner.

They also contract when the temperature is low and the oil is then thicker.

This compensatory expansion and contraction action is essential to the quality of the lubrication and protection of the equipment on which it is used.

This unique CTA feature ensures Omega 690 provides uniform flow at all operating temperatures for more consistent, high lubricity performance and ensures consistent fluid drag over the extended useful operating life of the lubricant.

Megalite polymers can be likened to a spring-loaded metal roll.

Each tiny polymer is so sensitive that even very slight temperature fluctuations create a slight expansion or contraction.

As soon as a temperature drop is experienced, the polymer's "spring" immediately shuts, allowing the fluidity of the lubricant to retain its original characteristics and bypass clearances with the same dynamic "bearing" friction as that during ambient temperature conditions.

The lubricant avoids becoming heavy and viscous.

Similarly when a temperature increase takes place, before the lubricant has a chance to thin out and begin "floating" through clearances, the polymers expand, taking with their expansion an equal "filling" of the lubricant and thereby retaining the essential viscosity stability needed for the well being of the equipment.

Without CTA the oil characteristics easily become thick and heavy during temperature drops.

This results in the difficult coursing of the equipment, draining of energy due to increased fluid drag, increase in oil consumption and the formation of heavy deposits that become hard, clogging the systems and filters.

Omega 690 is heavily fortified with carefully calibrated, extreme pressure resistant supplements.

Its additional supplements for corrosion and oxidation resistance, water wash qualities and many others far out number those of most ordinary gear oils.

As well as containing friction modifiers, Omega 690 performs perfectly well in limited slip differentials.

In contrast, ordinary gear oils form a heavy energy consuming drag and the oil migrates away from the friction area.

Omega 690 can be used in hypoid gears where the pinion gear is less than 25% of the crown wheel or where the pinion and crown wheel has more than 2 inches of offset.

Ordinary and even advance gear oils are unable to achieve this performance.

This revolutionary gear oil is available in the following grades SAE 90, SAE 140, SAE 80W90, SAE 85W140, SAE 75W90, SAE 75W140 and the new ISO VG460 grades.

It is supplied in 5, 20 and 205 litre containers, all in stock in the UK at Sovereign Lubricants and Seals warehouse.
