Transmission manufacturing lubrication solutions
Lubrication solutions designed to help you deliver high-quality transmission-manufacturing performance
Transmission technology is evolving fast – and Castrol is committed to keeping pace. With smaller components being manufactured to even finer tolerances and higher quality within the same production facilities, our Liquid Engineers can offer solutions designed to aid your performance wherever and whenever you’re operating.
Castrol’s Liquid Engineers are focused on offering expertise to help your transmission-manufacturing operations improve product quality, productivity as well as your overall Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) performance.
By using our extensive understanding of the relationships and interactions between components, tools and metalworking fluids, our specialists can tailor solutions to match your exact needs.
We know how important it is to have consistent performance across all your global locations, which is why we provide consistent, reliable and trusted guidance on implementing process improvements with best practice.
HSE requirements can vary, so our Liquid Engineers ensure compliant products and solutions which help to reduce your environmental impact.
Hydraulic systems
Manufacturing transmission equipment like oil pumps, valve body and clutch involves different operations also considering the metallurgy. For your operations, our Liquid Engineers recommend these products:
Forming
Rough machining
Solutions for initial cutting operations post forging or casting, such as turning, boring, drilling, and tapping.
Inter-operational cleaning
Reduce following process failures caused by particulate soils from previous machining operations
Finish machining
Solutions for final cutting operations, including milling, drilling, boring, tapping and honing.
Final cleaning
Match required cleanliness levels and provide temporary corrosion protection during storage or transportation before assembly
Corrosion protection
Enhanced protection against corrosion during intermediate storage or transportation.
