Tooth Systems

SV2^® Tooth System

ESCO is the proven leader in wearparts and the SV2 tooth system is the latest innovation to service satisfied customers around the world.

The SV2 system is available with a full compliment of adapters and point shapes to suit mining-class hydraulic face shovels, excavators, wheel loaders and electric cable shovels.

A field proven, innovative mining tooth system that lasts longer, is stronger than other systems of similar size, and features hammerless installation and removal.

• Longer Life for Less Throwaway Weight: The slimmer nose profile allows points to be worn back farther than with other systems. Optimizing wear life reduces downtime for change-outs. Many of the popular point shapes provide up to 75% usable wear metal for a minimum of throwaway.
  
  
• Slimmer Profile for Better Penetration: The slim profile nose allows slimmer teeth for better penetration without sacrificing wear metal and the sharp profile lasts for the life of the tooth. Better penetration reduces fuel consumption and wear and tear on the machine while increasing productivity.
  
  
• Greater Nose Strength and Fatigue Life: The unique design maximizes strength to withstand the increased power of today’s machines. Prolonged use in the most severe conditions are met with greater fatigue resistance where other systems fail. Depending on the size and tooth shape selected, the SV2 system will provide up to a 30% increase in strength.
  
  
• Improved System Safety: Every aspect of the SV2 system is designed with safety in mind. In addition to the hammerless locking system, the wear caps have hand grips built in for safer installation. The fit areas of the teeth and wear caps are designed to minimize wedging, making them easier to replace at change-outs.
  
  
• Premium ESCO alloys: ESCO metallurgical expertise and premium alloys are known around the world. ESCO alloy 12K has a nominal hardness that is higher than any of the competition. But hardness is only a part of the equation. The severe impact of the most demanding applications also requires the toughness of ESCO alloy to insure maximum fatigue resistance.

Point Shapes for Hydraulic Excavators and Face Shovels

• RX: General purpose point shape for moderate abrasion, penetration and sharp profile.
• VX: Pick profile for maximum penetration. Ideal for hard to penetrate material like shale or in heavy frost conditions.
• SD: Chisel taper for moderate penetration with excellent strength. Provides a good balance of penetration and wear life.
• CHD: Extra heavy-duty chisel contour provides additional strength and wear metal, but also allows penetration.

Point Shapes for Cable Shovels

• RXL: Long profile provides good balance of abrasion resistance and penetration in tough applications.
• RXXL: Extra long contour provides maximum wear life while maintaining ability to penetrate.
• RHXL: Extra heavy-duty long shape for optimum strength and maximum wear life in extreme conditions.

Point Shapes for Loaders

• AG: Abrasion point with wear shoe provides good penetration with superior abrasion resistance.
• ADHL: Extra heavy-duty shape with wear shoe for maximum abrasion resistance in the toughest conditions.

Point Shapes for Excavators

• SYL/RYL: General purpose shape for excavators. Wears sharp for penetration. Center rib adds strength.
• VX/TVP: Pick/twin pick shapes for excellent penetration. Ideal for frost, shale, slate and other hard-to-penetrate materials. The VX is for the center positions and the TVP is for the corners to cut clearance for the side of the bucket.
• SD: Chisel shape for moderate penetration and wear metal and excellent strength. Ideal for tough applications that need both wear metal and penetration.
• SHV: Heavy-duty shape for extreme applications requiring optimum strength and wear metal. Unique blade shape puts wear metal to the outside of the point to cut clearance for the side of the bucket and maintains an excellent wear profile.

Point Shapes for Wheel loaders

• TG: General purpose shape for loader applications. Provides flush cut with flush mount adapters for smooth quarry floors.
• AG/ARL: Tough abrasion shape for applications requiring excellent wear metal and strength. Large wear shoe protects the bucket bottom.
• ADH: Heavy-duty shape designed specifically for use on the Loadmaster quarry lip. The extended wear shoe ensures a smooth quarry floor and excellent wear life (available in V43 size only).
• ADB/ADHL: Extreme abrasion shape for severe applications. Provides maximum wear metal and strength, while maintaining penetration.

Point Shapes for Shovel Dippers

• CHD: Heavy-duty chisel shape for excellent penetration and strength. Ideal for severe applications needing both wear metal and penetration.
• RXL/RXXL: Extra long shape. Ideal in tough applications needing penetration and maximum wear life.
• RHL/RMX: Heavy-duty shape for maximum wear metal and strength, while maintaining penetration.

S-Series POSILOK^® Tooth System

The S-Series Posilok tooth system is specifically designed for use on draglines, cable shovels, large hydraulic face shovels and hoe buckets. The nose is part of a complete tooth system that combines ESCO proven technology with Posilok teeth with a new Sidewinder pin system and Posilok nose.

The S-Series Posilok tooth system has been further improved with the introduction of adapters with point-retained wear caps. The design eliminates installation of two locks and the need for an additional removal tool. In addition, because the wearcap simply slides into place, it dramatically cuts change-out and machine downtime.
