SPECIFICATIONS

Recommended Worm Gear Oil:
We have published the following specifications to help you determine which lubricant is best suited to your application. For simplicity, Braden has listed one readily available product in each temperature range which has been tested and found to meet our specifications. This is not to say that other lubricant brands would not perform equally as well.

If the following lubricant brands are not available in your area, make certain your lubricant vendor supplies you with oil that is equivalent to those products listed below.

PREVAILING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

A. Synthetic SAE 80W-140 Chevron Tegra Syngear
B. API GL5 80W-90 Texaco Multi-gear EP or equivalent
C. AGMA Grade 5 EP (90 wt.) Texaco Meropa 220 or equivalent
D. AGMA Grade 7 EP (140 wt.) Texaco Meropa 460 or equivalent
E. AGMA Grade 8 EP (180 wt.) Texaco Meropa 680 or equivalent

!WARNING!
Do not use aftermarket additives in worm gear oil. Some additives may contain substances which could cause glazing of brake discs or impede the firm locking action in the brake rotor assembly. Both symptoms could reduce load control which may result in property damage, severe personal injury or death.

RECOMMENDED FASTENER TORQUE

The general purpose torque shown in the chart applies to SAE Grade 5 bolts, studs and standard steel full, thick and high nuts.

Higher or lower torques for special applications will be specified such as the use of spanner nuts, nuts on shaft ends, jam nuts and where distortion of parts or gaskets is critical.

Lubricated torque values based on use of SAE 30wt engine oil applied to threads and face of bolt or nut.

Avoid using thread lubricants as the applied torque may vary by 10-40% depending upon product used
