Extreme Impact Resistance in Heavy Equipment

Greased components in heavy equipment are subjected to serious abuse. Virtually all heavy-duty off-road equipment operates under heavy-load conditions. The extreme impact common to off-road equipment forces all of that heavy load (pressure) onto places where the equipment pivots, relying on the grease to prevent metal-to-metal contact. Lesser quality greases cannot withstand the load and are pounded out of the impact area. When pound-out occurs, heavily loaded components are left unlubricated, which can result in metal-to-metal contact and extreme amounts of wear.

In addition, one of a grease's main functions is to act as a seal around the perimeter of the greased component, preventing water, dirt and other contaminants from entering the component and increasing wear. Pound-out leaves equipment vulnerable to potentially devastating amounts of contaminants.

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease's exclusive synthetic polymeric technology provides exceptional adhesion (ability to cling to components) and cohesion (ability to cling to itself) properties. It is engineered to resist pound-out better than other greases in heavily-loaded, extreme-pressure applications and stay in place longer, providing outstanding lubrication over extended service intervals and reducing the detrimental effects of missed grease points.

Calcium-Sulfonate Complex Thickener

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases feature a calcium-sulfonate complex thickener for enhanced extreme-pressure performance. Calcium-sulfonate complex is the ideal thickener for off-road grease. Its inherent extreme-pressure benefits deliver excellent impact resistance.

Moly-Fortified Grease to Meet CAT Specs

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases are heavily fortified with molybdenum for maximum wear protection to meet Caterpillar's requirement for pin and bushing applications. Its high Timken OK load and excellent four-ball wear and four-ball weld test results (see chart below) are proof of its exceptional load-bearing capacity.

Excellent Water Washout Resistance

Greased components on heavy equipment are frequently exposed to water. AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases resist water washout to maintain the external seal on greased components and help prevent water and other contaminants from entering wear-prone areas.

AMSOIL Impact Simulator

Currently, there is no ASTM-certified (American Society for Testing and Materials) test that measures a grease's pound-out resistance. Since pound-out resistance is a critical requirement for grease used in off-road equipment, AMSOIL defined a new performance parameter and test to define a grease's pound-out resistance capabilities. The device, the Impact Simulator, uses compressed air to generate a controlled amount of force delivered from a metal rod, which can be calibrated to deliver a specified amount of force, making it an accurate demonstration of pound-out resistance properties.

The impressive demonstration of the Impact Simulator dramatically proves that, under heavy loads, AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease stays in place to provide excellent protection and maintains its seal to prevent contaminants from penetrating wear-prone areas. Similar to the regular extreme impact faced by greased components of heavy-duty equipment, the Impact Simulator puts AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease's superior adhesion and cohesion properties clearly on display. While competitive greases explode from the impact after one shot, AMSOIL Off-Road Grease remains intact after several shots.

Reduces Equipment Downtime and Total Grease

Usage AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases provide serious severe-duty performance over extended service intervals. As demonstrated above, they resist pound-out and significantly reduce the amount of grease ejected during repetitive pounding action. Field test results show that AMSOIL Off-Road Greases reduce grease consumption by up to 50 percent over competitive products. That allows operators to either maintain their current maintenance schedule and use up to 50 percent less grease per application, or extend the length of time between re-greasing intervals. Their superior pound-out resistance combined with extended service intervals and superior protection result in reduced lubricant, labor and equipment-replacement costs.

Cost Reduction

A typical off-road application will consume one cartridge of grease per greasing. When compared to Caterpillar Ultra 5 Moly Grease, AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease provides an annual savings of $671 per machine:

	Caterpillar Ultra 5 Moly	AMSOIL Polymeric Off-Road
Price per Cartridge	$6.48	$5.85*
Typical Greasing Interval	Every Day	Every 1.5 Days
Daily Greasing Cost	$6.48	$3.90
Cost per Week	$32.40	$19.50
Cost Annually	$1,685.00	$1,014.00
Annual Savings		$671.00
*Wholesale case pricing 10/10

Based on price and service life, use of AMSOIL Off-Road Grease can save a business operating a fleet of five pieces of equipment $3,355 annually; a fleet of 25 saves $16,775 annually. Additional savings are realized through longer equipment life and reduced maintenance costs. Off-road bearings, bushings, pins and other components can have a total replacement cost of as much as $24,000.

Applications

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases are ideal for heavy-duty, heavy-load-bearing applications operating in the adverse conditions found in agricultural, construction, landscaping, logging and mining environments. Applications include power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks and other heavy-duty equipment with heavily-loaded pivot pins, king pins, bucket pins and bushings. AMSOIL Off-Road Greases are a perfect choice for Caterpillar equipment requiring 5 percent moly for pin and bushing applications. AMSOIL Off-Road Greases provide superior performance, protection and longevity in heavy-duty, off-road applications.

Available in NLGI 1 and NLGI 2 for use in the following environments:

• NLGI 1 for colder temperatures and as an all-season lubricant in northern climates
• NLGI 2 for warmer temperatures or as an all-season lubricant, or as required by OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

Grease Compatibility

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Greases are compatible with most other greases on the market. They are not compatible with greases formulated with calcium complex, conventional polyurea and clay (non-soap) thickeners.
