Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is a premium-quality extreme-pressure (EP) oil intended for lubricating industrial gears subjected to arduous operating conditions. Its high load carrying capacity, combined with its anti-friction characteristics, gives the oil superior performance in enclosed gear operation. ISO VG 68, with a kinematic viscosity of 68 mm2/s at 40°C and 8.8 mm2/s at 100°C.

Applications

• Enclosed industrial gearsShell Omala S2 GX technology provides an effective extreme-pressure (EP) formulation designed specifically for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel spur, helical or planetary gears, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced-circulation lubrication. Shell Omala S2 GX oils are also suitable for lubricating other applications, including bearings and other steel-on-steel components with splash or forced-circulation systems.
• Shell offers a wide range of products for other gear applications that have their own specific requirements. Shell Omala S4 GXV is recommended for transmission systems where a synthetic lubricant is specified, when the longest service life is required, or when operating in environments with wide temperature variations.
• Shell Omala S5 Wind 320 is recommended for wind turbine main gearboxes.
• Shell Omala S4 WE, Shell Morlina S4 B and Shell Omala S1 W are recommended for worm gears
• For automotive gears, an appropriate Shell Spirax oil should be used
• For systems with slideways or other applications using a filtration unit finer than 10 microns, please consult your local Shell technical specialist and product application specialist before using Shell Omala S2 GX.

Performance & benefits

• Long oil life through oxidation stability and resistance to thermal stress, reducing total cost of ownership, even at bulk oil temperatures up to 100°C.
• Excellent load-carrying capacity and micropitting resistance, providing long component life.
• Gear-system efficiency is maintained through enhanced water shedding, extra corrosion protection and better foam control, even in the presence of seawater or solids contamination.
• Excellent shear stability, maintaining viscosity throughout the service interval, and compatibility with common seals, engineering adhesives and paint finishes.
