Main Applications
- Steel gear transmissions.
- Industrial gear drives where a full EP performance is required.
- Bearings.
- Circulating and splash lubricated systems.
- Shell Omala F should not be used for automotive hypoid gears. The appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used for this purpose.
- 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
- Excellent load carrying and anti-friction characteristics
Reduces gear tooth and bearing wear on both steel and bronze components. The load carrying capacity of Shell Omala F Oils, as determined in laboratory tests, is significantly better than that of leaded gear oils. Gear tooth wear is reduced, particularly under conditions of high load. Typical test results for Shell Omala F 220 are:
- Extreme Pressure Properties
