PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic AW Series Antiwear Hydraulic Oils are
shear-stable, long-life lubricants based on high-quality
synthetic oil technology. These oils are formulated with a
premium additive system that inhibits oxidation to prevent acid
formation and viscosity increase and inhibit rust and foam
(providing smooth hydraulic operation). AW Oils contain a very
effective zinc-based antiwear/antioxidant additive which
controls wear in high-speed, high-pressure vane and gear pumps
while meeting the lubrication requirements of axial piston
pumps with bronze-on-steel metallurgy. AW Oils meet the
requirements for Maximum Efficiency Hydraulic Fluid (mehf) and
can lower costs and/or increase productivity in mobile
equipment by 6 to 15%. Improved pump efficiency can increase
hydraulic power, reduce fuel consumption and improve
productivity. They are designed for long life and typically
reduce maintenance costs by extending drain intervals and
reducing labor costs, repairs and downtime.
AMSOIL Synthetic Base Oil
Technology
AMSOIL synthetic base oils resist thermal and oxidative
breakdown and work to prevent carbon and varnish deposits. The
very high viscosity indices, low pour points and lack of
paraffins (wax) make these good all-season lubricants well
suited for temperature extremes. At high temperatures and
pressures, AW Oils provide a good lubricating film and protect
components against wear.
Performance Features
• Extended oil drain intervals
• Antiwear protection for high-pressure systems
• Recommended for gear, vane and piston pumps
• Contain rust, oxidation and foam inhibitors
• Designed for extreme temperature operations
• Hydrolytically stable and readily separates from water
• Improves mobile equipment efficiency (mehf)
Application
Recommendation
The correct viscosity grades of AMSOIL Synthetic AW Series
Antiwear Hydraulic Oils are recommended for high- and
low-pressure gear, vane and piston stationary and mobile
hydraulic systems. They meet the performance requirements of
all major hydraulic manufacturers and are excellent for general
purpose use where extended drain intervals are desired and in
severe duty operations where temperature extremes are
encountered. Because they are light-bodied and possess very
good cold-temperature properties, AWF and AWG are the preferred
choices for temperatures below -20°F.
Some applications include machine tools and
presses, mobile construction equipment, farming equipment,
logging trucks, boom trucks and plastic injection molding
machines. The appropriate viscosity grades of AW Oils are also
suitable for use in pneumatic tools and spindles.
AMSOIL AW Series Oils are compatible with
hydraulic system seals, petroleum hydraulic oils and most
synthetic hydraulic oils*. For optimum performance, it is
recommended the system be thoroughly drained and, if warranted,
cleaned prior to installation. Oil analysis is recommended to
maximize oil drain intervals.
* Not compatible with phosphate ester or
silicone fluids.
