Special Application Industrial Gear Oils
Performance Benefits
Long oil life – Maintenance saving
Shell Omala S3 GP oils are formulated to resist thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval. They help resist the formation of sludge to provide good oil life capability even at temperatures up to 100 o C.
Excellent wear & corrosion protection
Shell Omala S3 GP oils are formulated with high levels of extreme pressure and anti-wear additives properties to help ensure optimal gear and bearing protection even under the severest operating conditions.
Shell Omala S3 GP has excellent corrosion protection, protecting steel components, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids.
Maintaining system efficiency
Shell Omala S3 GP oils have excellent water separation properties, such that excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems to help maintain the integrity of critical oil films and extend the life of the gears.
Applications
Highly loaded gears
Shell Omala S3 GP oils are designed for use in enclosed industrial gear systems subject to severe operating conditions including high shock loading applications
Worn or damaged gears
These oils can be used in older gear systems that may be damaged or misaligned. The extreme pressure performance provides additional protection in such applications.
Other applications
Shell Omala S3 GP oils are suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems
For normal load applications the other Shell Omala “G” series oils are recommended. For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
