Description
Shell Omala S2 GX 220
Industrial Gear Oil
Shell Omala S2 GX oil is a high quality extreme-pressure (EP) industrial gear oil designed primarily for the lubrication of heavy duty industrial gearboxes. This industrial gear lubricant has a high load carrying capacity, protection against micropitting and compatibility with seals and paints, combining to offer excellent performance in enclosed gear applications and superior performance for gears used in heavy duty industrial applications.
Main Applications of Shell Omala S2 GX 220
Enclosed Industrial Gear Systems
Shell Omala S2 GX technology provides an effective extreme pressure (EP) formulation designed specifically for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel-on-steel, spur, helical, or planetary gear drives, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced circulation systems. Shell Omala S2 GX oils are also suitable for the lubrication of non-geared applications, that include bearings and other steel-on-steel components with splash or forced circulation systems.
Other Applications
Shell offers a wide range of products for other gear applications that have their own specific requirements. For geared systems, or other applications that employ a filtration unit finer than 5 microns, please consult your Shell Local Technical Advisor and Product Application Specialist before using Shell Omala S2 GX.
Benefits and Features of Shell Omala S2 GX 220
Long Oil Life Through Oxidation Stability and Resistance to Thermal Stress
Shell Omala S2 GX oils are formulated to reduce the risk of thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval. They withstand high thermal loading and resist the formation of sludge to provide extended oil life capability, even with bulk oil temperatures of up to 1000C, leading to reduced total cost of ownership.
Excellent Wear and Micropitting Protection
Shell Omala S2 GX is formulated to have excellent load carrying capacity and micropitting performance, providing long component life.
Gear System Efficiency is Maintained by Optimised Water Separation Performance, Corrosion and Foam Control
Shell Omala S2 GX oils display a combination of excellent water shedding capability, corrosion protection and low foam forming tendency. Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue of gears and bearings as well as promoting ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Excellent corrosion protection is provided, even in the presence of contamination by seawater and solids.
This industrial gear oil is designed to minimise the potential for foaming, often experienced in applications where oil reservoir residence times are marginal. Excellent shear stability, maintains viscosity stability throughout the service interval.
Further system efficiencies are gained through compatibility with popular seals, sealants, and engineering adhesives, to help avoid leakage. Shell Omala S2 GX is compatible with prevalent paint finishes.
