Abstract: The present system as disclosed herein provides for a battery mount system configured to position batteries below an upper plane of a cross member of an electric vehicle chassis. The system of the present application provides a semi-isolated electric vehicle battery mount for a torsionally flexible chassis. The system includes a bracket configured to enable the batteries to be positioned below and between the cross members of the chassis. The bracket generally includes battery hangers and corresponding mounts, a pivot, a pivot pin, a pivot bracket all mounted to the cross member enabling the batteries to rest below an upper plane of the cross member and pivotable with respect to the cross member.

Abstract: A slide way lubricant composition includes at least (a) a hydrotreated petroleum having a viscosity of from about 10 cSt to about 250 cSt as measured at 40° C. and consisting predominately of hydrocarbons having from about 15 to about 50 carbon atoms per molecule and (b) a polymeric synthetic ester having an average molecular weight of at least about 200,000. The hydrotreated petroleum may be employed in an amount of from about 97.8 to about 99.4 weight percent and the ester may be employed in the composition in an amount of from about 0.6 to about 2.2 weight percent. The ester may be derived from the reaction between a dicarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol. The composition may further include an adhesion additive having an average molecular weight of at least about 1,000,000 and a high pressure agent, such as a trisulfide. A demulsibility agent may also be employed.

Abstract: An improved anti-wear, high pressure hydraulic oil which contains essentially no zinc or phosphorous is described. The hydraulic oil protects against corrosion and oxidation as well as provides anti-wear, anti-weld, and demulsibility properties. This improved hydraulic oil contains (1) petroleum hydrocarbon oil; (2) esters of dibasic and monobasic acids; (3) butylated phenol; (4) phenol; (5) sulfurized fatty oil; (6) fatty acid; and (7) sulfur scavenger. This hydraulic oil has a reduced tendency towards sludge formation and has, therefore, an increased lifetime. This hydraulic oil can be used in applications requiring good boundary lubrication and minimal sludge formation. It is especially useful in high pressure hydraulic systems and pumps.
