Gear Oils
Gear up for greater protection.
Keep up with expectations by securing increased reliability and reduced equipment downtime through Shell’s gear oil products.
Like many industrial components, gearboxes are becoming smaller, more sophisticated and, as a result, running under higher temperatures and pressures. And as designs change, so do expectations of greater reliability and improved performance. As such, modern gearboxes require greater protection from their lubricating oil in order to perform to their full potential. At the heart of this is ensuring the adequate protection of seals. One leading gearbox manufacturer has suggested that seal issues are the main limits on extending operating times before maintenance is required.1 And what’s more, 40 per cent of seal failures relate to oil compatibility problems.2
