Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid lubricant particularly adapted for use as a lubricant in tractive drives. More particularly, the invention is related to a fluid formed from a mixture of an alpha-methyl styrene and a polyalphaolefin.
  • a conventional tractive drive or friction drive device is composed of at least two relatively rotatable members in a torque transmitting relationship. Torque (power) is transmitted from an input element to an output element through a nominal point or line contact, typically with a rolling action, by virtue of the traction from the proximal contact between the elements. The contact between the elements provides a means to transfer power from one source to a secondary element. Tractive drives can be used in automotive or industrial machinery to transmit power between rotating members. In particular, tractive drive devices are suited for use in transmissions and more particularly for continuous variable transmissions (CVT).
  • CVT continuous variable transmissions
  • Tractive drive elements are in proximal contact, but do not actually touch. It is generally known in the industry that a fluid film is provided between the elements. If the elements did contact, friction between the elements will generate heat and cause increased wear on the elements, leading to a degradation of the tractive drive. Lubricants are used to prevent the metal to metal contact and decrease the wear on the tractive elements. Thus, instead of metal to metal, or metal to rubber contact, a film of fluid is intermediate the contact points, The fluid functions to remove heat, prevent wear at the contact surface, lubricate the contacting elements and moving parts, and facilitate the transfer of torque. The fluid to a large extent determines the environment in which the tractive drive device operates.
  • the fluid reduces heat and friction, and functions to increase the traction coefficient of the tractive elements thereby increasing the transfer of power.
  • Desired characteristics for fluid lubricants that increase the performance of the tractive drive device are high shear resistance, low viscosity over a wide temperature range specifically at low temperatures, and good lubricating properties. High shear resistance is measured as the traction coefficient and is important for maximizing the power transmission between elements, A fluid with a high traction coefficient facilitates the maximum amount of torque between elements, resulting in minimal torque reduction due to slipping of the tractive drive.
  • good lubricating characteristics ensure that heat is removed and that the contact surfaces are lubricated to minimize wear of the tractive device.
  • Conventional fluid lubricants include naturally occurring oils of mineral origin, synthetic based lubricants, and combinations thereof, It is well known, however, that these fluids do not possess the characteristics, which enable them to perform satisfactorily in demanding applications, such as conditions that are typically associated with chain and belt CVT.
  • Conventional fluid lubricants lack a high traction coefficient while still maintaining a low viscosity over a wide temperature range and in particular at low temperatures, such as - 4O 0 C.
  • the fluid lubricant either functions with a high traction coefficient over a narrow temperature range, or the fluid lubricant is used over a wide temperature range, but with a low traction coefficient.
  • defoamers decrease the effectiveness of conventional fluid lubricants because over time the defoamers lose the ability to decrease foaming
  • Defoamers found in conventional fluid lubricants lose effectiveness due to settling, oxidation, or shearing, which cause the fluid lubricant to foam during use
  • conventional fluid lub ⁇ cants do not reduce the noise associated with traction gears. [0007].
