Mobil Mining Equipment Grease
Mining equipment operates under some of the most demanding lubrication conditions — including high loads, shock loading, dust contamination and exposure to moisture. Grease selection is critical to ensure component protection, reduce wear and maintain equipment reliability. Different grease types are used depending on the application, with lithium complex greases commonly specified for bearings and general heavy-duty lubrication, and molybdenum-based greases used for sliding surfaces and shock-loaded components.
Grease Types for Mining Equipment
Moly Grease (MoS₂)
Used for pins, bushings and sliding surfaces under shock loading. Provides solid lubrication where conventional oil films may fail under extreme pressure and boundary lubrication conditions.
Lithium Complex Grease
Suitable for heavy-duty bearings and general mining equipment requiring water resistance, high-temperature stability and improved load-carrying capability over standard EP greases.
General Purpose EP2 Grease
Used in less demanding mining applications where moderate load and standard operating conditions are present and OEM specifications allow a general-purpose NLGI 2 grease.
Typical Mining Equipment Applications
Excavators & Loaders
Pins, bushings and articulation points on excavators and loaders subject to high loads and shock loading in open pit mining operations.
Crushers & Processing Equipment
Heavy-duty bearings in crushers, screens and mineral processing equipment operating under sustained high load and elevated temperatures.
Conveyors & Material Handling
Conveyor systems and material handling equipment in dusty, contaminated environments where grease must resist washout and maintain film strength under continuous operation.
Mobile Equipment Chassis
Chassis lubrication, open gear and articulation points on heavy mobile mining equipment exposed to dust, water and contamination during continuous shift operations.
Choosing the Correct Mining Grease
Match Grease to Operating Conditions
Selecting the correct grease depends on load, speed, temperature and contamination. Mining environments typically require higher-performance greases due to continuous operation and exposure to harsh conditions.
Moly for Shock-Loaded Components
Moly grease is specified for high-load and shock applications such as pins and bushings, providing additional MoS₂ solid lubricant protection where standard EP additive packages may be marginal.
Lithium Complex for Bearings
Lithium complex grease is used for bearings requiring durability, water resistance and heat stability — covering most rolling element bearing applications in mining processing and mobile equipment.
