-
High shock loading
-
Oscillating bearings
-
Heat cycling
-
Scale + moisture contamination
The original Chinese spec historically leaned toward calcium-based or calcium-sulfonate EP greases
What NOT To Use (Common Mistake)
Avoid:
-
Standard lithium wheel bearing grease.
-
High temp automotive lithium complex only.
Example:
-
Mobil XHP 222.
-
Mystik JT-6.
They survive heat but are weaker under hammer shock pounding compared to calcium sulfonate.
Recommend for Your Anyang ST
If this were my hammer:
Tier 1 (Best Performance)
-
HammerDuty calcium sulfonate grease.
Tier 2 (Best Availability)
-
Traveller Marine Calcium Sulfonate (Tractor Supply).
Tier 3 (Industrial Gold Standard)
-
Lubriplate Power Hammer grease.
Advanced Tip (Few Owners Know)
Anyang pitman bearings respond extremely well to:
-
Slightly heavier base oil viscosity calcium sulfonate greases.
You get:
-
quieter hammer,
-
less knock,
-
longer life.
