OPEN GEAR LUBE

TENACIOUS EXTREME-PRESSURE COATING FOR SLOW-SPEED EXTERNAL GEARS

Close

Open Gear Lube is a specialized, heavy-duty industrial lubricant formulated with high-viscosity paraffinic base stocks and a robust extreme-pressure (EP) additive package to provide an unyielding protective layer on large, slow-moving external gear sets. It is specifically engineered to "plate" onto metal surfaces, providing a thick, resilient film that cushions gear teeth against heavy shock loads and reduces vibration in high-torque environments. Its high-tack formula is designed to resist environmental wash-off and mechanical fling-off, ensuring that gears remain fully coated despite centrifugal forces or extreme weather exposure. This is the professional choice for protecting exposed equipment in construction, dredging, and heavy industrial applications—such as draglines, shovels, and mill gears—where environment-facing protection and resistance to rust and corrosion are non-negotiable for maintaining operational uptime.

PRODUCT RESOURCES 

PERFORMANCE

  • High-viscosity "plating" action provides an unyielding protective layer on slow-speed gears.

  • Cushions gear teeth against heavy shock loads to reduce mechanical vibration and noise.

  • High-tack formula resists mechanical fling-off even under high centrifugal forces.

PROTECTION

  • Tenacious extreme-pressure (EP) coating prevents scoring and abrasive wear on exposed metal.

  • Resists environmental wash-off, ensuring gears remain coated in rain, snow, or mud.

  • Provides an impenetrable barrier against rust and corrosion on large, environment-facing assets.

UPTIME

  • Ideal for keeping draglines, shovels, and mill gears operational in harsh field conditions.

  • Reduces wear-related maintenance, extending the life of expensive, exposed gear sets.

  • Ensures consistent protection in outdoor construction and dredging where uptime is vital.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • EP Protection: Heavy-duty extreme-pressure additives prevent metal-to-metal contact during high-torque operation.

  • Fling-Off Resistance: High-tack formula stays on the gear teeth even at high speeds and under heavy centrifugal force.

  • Shock Load Cushioning: High-viscosity base stocks provide a thick "pillow" to absorb mechanical vibration and impact.

  • Corrosion Guard: Forms an impenetrable barrier against salt air, rain, and abrasive dust.

APPLICATIONS

  • Draglines and shovels in mining and construction operations.

  • Slow-moving, heavily loaded open gears, chains, and wire ropes.

  • Dredging equipment and large-scale industrial mixers.

MAMMOTH TECHNICAL TIP:

When applying this to wire ropes or chains, make sure they are clean and dry first. You want that "plating" action to happen directly on the metal. Once it’s on, it creates a shell that grit and moisture can't get through—it’s the ultimate "Mammoth" armor for exposed iron.
