Shell Omala S2 G 68
Shell Omala S2 G 68 oils are high quality extreme-pressure oils designed primarily for the lubrication of heavy duty industrial gears. Their high load carrying capacity and anti-friction characteristics combine to offer superior performance in gears.
Detailed Product Description
Shell Omala S2 G 68 Gear Oil Applications
- Enclosed industrial gear systems
Shell Omala S2 G ISO 68 gear oil isformulated using an effective sulfur-phosphorus additive system to provide an extreme pressure performance which allow trouble-free Application in most enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel spur and helical gears. - Highly loaded gears
Shell Omala S2 G 68 gear oils have an effective full extreme pressure (EP) additive system allowing them to be used in highly-loaded gear systems. - Other applications
Shell Omala S2 G 68 gear oil is suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems.
For highly loaded worm drives, Shell Omala S4 WE, Shell Morlina S4 B and Shell Omala S1 W are recommended. For automotive applications including hypoid gears (axles and differentials), the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
Shell do not recommend/support use in systems with fine filtration (<10 microns) because sustained foam control performance is not assured. Please consult your Shell Local Technical Advisor and Product Application Specialist
Performance, Features & Benefits
- Long oil life – Maintenance saving
Shell Omala S2 G ISO 68 gear oils are formulated to resist 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 100C in certain applications. - Excellent wear & corrosion protection
Excellent load carrying capacity reduces gear tooth and bearing wear on steel components. Shell Omala S2 G has excellent corrosion protection, protecting steel components, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids. - Maintaining system efficiency
Shell Omala S2 G 68 gear oils have excellent water separation properties, such that excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems to help extend the life of the gears and ensure efficient lubrication of the contact areas. Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue of gears and bearings as well as promoting ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Water contamination should therefore be avoided or removed as quickly as possible after the occurrence.
