Greases

Moly-Fortified Pin and Bush Grease

Heavy grease with molybdenum disulphide for excavator and loader pins, bucket linkages, king pins and slow pivots carrying shock load.

Features

  • The solid lubricant stays on the surface when the oil film is squeezed out, which is exactly what happens in a slow, heavily loaded pin.
  • Higher base oil viscosity than a general-purpose grease, chosen for load rather than for speed.
  • Tacky formulations resist being thrown off exposed linkages and pushed out by water.
  • Not suitable for fast-running bearings, where the solid content adds drag and heat without benefit.
  • Usually applied on a short interval, so pack format and gun compatibility matter as much as the formulation.

Specifications

Figure Typical range Unit Why it matters
Molybdenum disulphide content 3 - 5 % the solid film that carries shock load
Consistency grade 2 stiff enough to stay in an open pin
Base oil viscosity at 40 degrees C 320 - 460 mm2/s matched to slow speed and high load
Application interval 10 - 50 h decides pack format and consumption
