CASTROL Molub-Alloy 908 SF

Description

Castrol Molub-Alloy 908 SF Super Heavy Slide Lubricant is designed to lubricate the walking mechanism slides of

Bucyrus International draglines. The lubricant has been formulated to meet Bucyrus specification X-2326, Suffix

B. Excellent EP protection is achieved without the use of lead additives or any other hazardous material

considered undesirable by environmental agencies in the management of waste.

Molub-Alloy 908 SF Super Heavy Slide Lubricant is formulated with a system of components that interact to

provide maximum performance and protection. This formulation includes fluids, viscosity modifiers (thickeners),

and a select combination of anti-seize and antiwear agents, including a proprietary blend of Castrol Molub-Alloy

lubricating solids. The synergistic combination of ingredients offers maximum protection of the sliding mechanism.

Actual slide operating conditions were closely simulated during the development of Molub-Alloy 908 SF Super

Heavy Slide Lubricant. Extreme loads and slow speeds were considered. The metallurgy of test specimens

corresponded to actual slide components. Development criteria included temperature studies. Wear was also

evaluated.

Application

Molub-Alloy 908 SF Super Heavy Slide Lubricant is formulated for the specific use on Bucyrus International

draglines designed with cam and slide walking mechanisms.

Advantages

• Controls chatter and temperature rise

• Pumps easily for economical dispensing with automatic equipment

• Clings to surfaces, yet flows easily in troughs due to controlled thixotrophy (flow characteristics)

• Resists separating and water washout between walks.

Molub-Alloy 908 SF Super Heavy Slide Lubricant resists excessive thinning with increase in ambient temperature.

In use, when loads are heavy and shearing forces are low, 908 SF forms a thick film, still flows readily and offers

little drag when pumped by lubrication dispensing equipment.
