What does CKD mean in engine oil?
1 Answers
CKD stands for heavy-duty industrial closed gear oil, with an oxidation resistance of 121 degrees Celsius and an extreme pressure performance of ≥60 pounds. Introduction to gear oil: Gear oil should have good anti-wear, load-bearing properties and appropriate viscosity. It should also possess excellent thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention capabilities. Gear oil is a high-performance lubricant. Performance characteristics of gear oil: Suitable viscosity and good viscosity-temperature characteristics are fundamental properties of gear oil. Higher viscosity results in a thicker lubricating oil film, which relatively enhances load-bearing capacity. Extreme pressure anti-wear performance is the most important and distinctive feature of gear oil. It is relied upon to prevent wear, scuffing, and adhesion of gear surfaces during operation.
