Main Applications
- Enclosed industrial gear systems
Shell Omala S2 GX technology provides an extreme EP system which allows trouble-free application in most enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel spur and helical gear drives with circulation or splash lubrication systems.
- Highly loaded gears
Shell Omala S2 GX oils have an effective full extreme pressure (EP) additive system allowing them to be used in highly-loaded gear systems.
Performance, Features & Benefits
Performance Benefits can be summarised in OMALA. C O M (Protection against Contamination, Oxidation and Micropitting)
- Handling Contamination and hence maintaining system efficiency
Shell Omala S2 GX oils display a combination of excellent water shedding capability and low foaming tendency. The oils are designed to minimize the potential for foaming in the most testing of environments.
Shell Omala S2 GX 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.
