Description

Typical applications include machine ways and guides, transfer slides, acme threads, gear racks and open gearTypical applications include machine ways and guides, transfer slides, acme threads, gear racks and open geardrives. They may also be used in heavily loaded, slow rotating components such as plain spherical bearings, plainbearings and bushings. When properly applied, Molub-Alloy 882 EP Open Gear Greases form a tenacious semidrycoating that is highly resistant to water wash and debris buildup. A select petroleum oil of high viscosity, modified with other petroleum derivatives forms an exceptionally tough filmin service, which, even at elevated temperatures, resists the thinning and hardening associated with conventionalpastes and asphaltic type compounds.A proprietary blend of Castrol Molub-Alloy solid film lubricants constitutes a major part of Molub-Alloy 882 EPOpen Gear Greases. They function synergistically with additional extreme pressure components to provide thenecessary protection in severe service. Even the unique thickening system in these greases is a contributing solidlubricant.Components are selected for the manufacture of Molub Alloy 882 EP Open Gear Greases based on quality,compatibility, and particularly for their intended use. The Molub-Alloy Solid Lubricants are of a proven combinationand size distribution for use on sliding mechanisms subjected to high contact pressures.Extreme pressure properties are maximized by the use of the most effective, non-corrosive EP agents available.They complement the anti-wear, anti seize performance of Castrol Molub-Alloy solid lubricants in protectingagainst severe load conditions and in higher than normal ambient temperatures.Components, including the thickening system, were selected to constitute a product which will not drip or fling offeven at very high temperatures (over 400°F).

Application

Typical applications for Molub-Alloy 882 EP Open Gear Greases include open gears subjected to high torque and Typical applications for Molub-Alloy 882 EP Open Gear Greases include open gears subjected to high torque andslow surging loads, and guide devices such as metal forming press slideways and the tie bars of die castingmachines. They are especially suitable for use in applications involving elevated ambient temperatures or waterwash conditions.Application of Molub-Alloy 882 EP Open Gear Greases may be by brush, paddle, or pressurized lubricationspraying devices. Where dispensing lines are long or ambient temperatures low, the use of Castrol Molub-Alloy882 EP Arctic is suggested.
