Description:
Shell Alvania EP Grease D is a long-life railroad grease with extreme pressure additives to provide higher load carrying capacity. This grease meets the requirements of AAR M-942-(Revised 1992) and NSW SRA L343-84.
Performance Features:
Extended Bearing Life
The extreme pressure additives in Shell Alvania EP Grease D provide higher load carrying capacity, reduce bearing wear and bearing failures.
Water and Corrosion Protection
The lithium/calcium mixed soap thickener gives the grease superior water resistance and is combined with anti-corrosion additives to further enhance protection of bearing surfaces.
Prolonged Grease Service Life
Shell Alvania EP Grease D resists hardening or softening due to its excellent mechanical stability and therefore lubricates for hundreds of thousands of kilometres in railroad bearings without the need for relubrication.
Simplified Inventory
The overall superior performance of Shell Alvania EP Grease D means it can be used to rationalise grease stocks to one railroad axle bearing grease for all bearing types.
Application:
The Association of American Railways (AAR) have developed a grease specification AAR M-942 (Revised 1992), designed to eliminate field lubrication, so that they only have to grease bearings when rail cars are brought to the shop for wheel repair. This practice requires a grease capable of performing in the bearings for hundreds of thousands of kilometres or up to 10 years, without the need for re-lubrication.
Shell Alvania EP Grease D is specifically designed as a long life railway bearing grease meeting the above AAR requirements.
