Product Code: RC
Call to Order |
AMSOIL Synthetic RC Series Gear and Bearing
Oils are primarily recommended for gear and bearing applications and
circulating systems requiring A&O and/or anti-wear additive
technology. AMSOIL's RC Series lubricants are made from high quality
synthetic base stocks and additive systems. This product prevents
wear and protects equipment by maintaining its viscosity, resisting
thermal and oxidative breakdown, incorporating anti-wear additives,
preventing rust, and resisting the degrading effects of water.
Package sizes include:
- 5-Gallon Pail
- 55-Gallon Drum
- 275-Gallon Tote
Allow two to four weeks for delivery.

Viscosity Characteristics
AMSOIL lubricants are very shear-stable and
oxidation-resistant, which prevents viscosity loss from mechanical
shear and viscosity increase from oxidation. In addition, the high
viscosity index and low pour points allow for extended temperature
protection and performance. AMSOIL RC Series Oils are fluid at cold
temperatures--providing easier startups, quick lubricant circulation
and limiting the need for sump heaters. At higher temperatures,
AMSOIL maintains a thick lubricating film, reducing metal-to-metal
contact and component wear.

Additive Performance
AMSOIL's complete additive technology enhances
the oil's performance. The non-detergent, ashless anti-wear
additives in the RC Series provide an additional layer of protection
against wear in sever conditions. Rust inhibitors protect critical
components against corrosion in the presence of water or process
contaminants, anti-oxidants increase the oil's oxidation resistance,
which extends lubricant life, and the foam suppressants prevent
unwanted foaming and air entrapment.
|
|
Water Resistant
Hydrolytic stability (stability in the presence
of water) and demulsibility (ability to readily separate from water)
are important features provided by the RC Series lubricants. This
increases lubricant life, prevents oil/water emulsions, and allows
for reservoirs to be drained of water caused by the environment,
processes or condensation.
AMSOIL's unique combination of synthetic base
oils and additives extends service life and operating temperatures
while providing clean, problem-free operation.

Application Recommendation
AMSOIL Synthetic RC Series oils are primarily
recommended for gear and bearing applications and circulating
systems requiring A&O and/or anti-wear additive technology.
The lighter viscosity AMSOIL RC Series oils
provide superior protection in high and low pressure gear, vane and
piston hydraulic systems, compressors, high speed bearings, small
gear sets, pumps, high speed spindles, high speed gear, and many
other industrial applications. Higher viscosity grades of RC oils,
beginning with RCI (ISO 46) meet AGMA specifications for R&O and
Synthetic gear oil specifications 1 through 8, respectively, for the
lubrication of intermediate-speed equipment where mild shock loading
and intermittent service are involved. These applications include
machine tools, roller chains, gear reducers, cone drives, large
motor bearings, medium-speed ball and roller bearings, blowers, and
worm gear sets. Consult the manufacturer for proper viscosity
recommendations. The ability of RC Series oils to extend drain
intervals is subject to operating environments and maintenance
practices and should be monitored by oil analysis.
Although AMSOIL lubricants are compatible with
mineral oil-based lubricants, for optimum performance it is
recommended that the system be thoroughly drained and cleaned, if
warranted.
NOTE:
AMSOIL RC Series oils are not designed for
applications requiring Extreme Pressure (EP) agents. For EP
fortified lubricants, please refer to AMSOIL SG Series Gear Oils.
