Application Notes:
 

fifth wheel


is a large flat disk between a truck and trailer that permits the trailer to pivot from side to side. A fifth wheel is particularly subject to fretting, which is the removal of finely divided metal particles from rubbing surfaces due to oscillation, sliding or vibration. A grease formulated with molybdenum disulfide can help control this type of wear.
