GE Guard

Proactive Gear System Care

GE Guard is a proactive gear treatment designed to help reduce friction, protect loaded contact surfaces, and support stable gear system performance. Once dispersed in the gear oil, the PTFE particles help create a low-friction protective layer on gear teeth, bearings, and other loaded surfaces, supporting reduced wear and more reliable operation over time.

System Compatibility & Blending
GE Guard is based on high-quality mineral gear oil and is designed to blend with most commonly used mineral gear lubricants.

Oil Compatibility Note
GE Guard is intended for selected mineral oil-based gear systems. For EAL or bio-oil systems, compatibility must be reviewed separately based on oil type, viscosity, additive package, system condition, and operating environmen.

Suitable System Types
GE Guard can be considered for selected mineral oil-based gear systems, including industrial gearboxes, marine gear systems, drive units, bearings, gear teeth, and other loaded contact surfaces where friction, wear, heat, or vibration are key concerns.

Assessment Before Application
Each application is reviewed individually to ensure the treatment is suitable for the gear system, oil type, and operating conditions. This helps ensure correct blending, dosage, and application guidance.

Application Example

Developed for real operating conditions across a wide range of vessel types and sealing systems.

GE Guard – Proactive Care for an Industrial Gearbox

System type: Industrial gearbox

Gear oil volume: ~400 L
Observed leakage: Within normal operating range

Scenario
The gearbox was operating under stable conditions with no significant leakage. During continuous production, the maintenance team observed elevated operating temperatures and increased vibration under load. The goal was to reduce friction, protect gear teeth, bearings, and loaded contact surfaces, and support long-term gearbox reliability as part of routine maintenance.

Action
Based on the gearbox type, oil volume, load conditions, and operating profile, a proactive treatment was recommended.

Recommended starting point: Gear Guard
Indicative quantity: ~5 L total

Application
The product was applied during a planned maintenance window, following the recommended dosage and application guidance.

Outcome
The gearbox remained stable, with added support for friction control, surface protection, and reliable operation between planned service intervals.
