Gear Oil

Product Description

Mobilgear™ SHC XMP Series High performance, synthetic industrial gear oils are designed to provide optimum equipment protection ａnd oil life even under extreme conditions. Mobil＇s polyalphaolefin (PAO) technology has been selected for its exceptional oxidation resistance ａnd thermal properties, naturally high viscosity index, excellent low temperature fluidity ａnd absence of undesirable compounds that are often found in mineral oils. The high viscosity index ａnd low traction coefficient of this oil combine to help provide significant reduction in power consumption in many gear drives. Mobilgear SHC XMP Series lubricants contain an advanced ａnd carefully blended proprietary additive system designed to provide excellent protection against conventional wear modes such as scuffing ａnd provide a high level of resistance against micropitting fatigue. In addition, compared to conventional gear oil chemistries, they offer the potential for improved lubrication of gearbox rolling element bearings. Mobilgear SHC XMP Series products offer outstanding rust ａnd corrosion protection in applications where salt water ａnd acidic water protection are required. These products provide outstanding filter life even when moderately wet ａnd have excellent compatibility with ferrous ａnd non-ferrous metals even at elevated temperatures.

Mobilgear SHC XMP lubricants are recommended for enclosed industrial gear drives including steel-on-steel spur, helical, ａnd bevel gears. They are highly recommended in applications that may be subject to micropitting: especially heavily loaded gearboxes with surface-hardened tooth metallurgies. They may also be used in gear applications where extreme low and/or high temperatures are encountered ａnd applications where corrosion may be severe.

Because of their unique mix of properties, including resistance to micropitting wear, ａnd their performance in tough applications ａnd wide temperature range, Mobilgear SHC XMP Series products enjoy a growing reputation among customers ａnd OEMs around the world.

Features ａnd Benefits

The Mobil brand lubricants designated as SHC are recognized ａnd appreciated around the world for innovation ａnd outstanding performance. These molecular design PAO synthetic products, pioneered by our research scientists, symbolize the continuing commitment to using advanced technology to provide outstanding products. A key factor in the development of the Mobilgear SHC XMP Series was the close contacts between our scientists ａnd application specialists with key OEMs to ensure that our product offerings will provide exceptional performance with rapidly evolving industrial gear designs ａnd operation.

Our work with equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory tests showing the exceptional performance of the Mobilgear SHC XMP Series lubricants. Not least among the benefits shown in work with OEMs is the ability to resist micropitting wear which can occur with some highly loaded, case-hardened gearing applications. This cooperative work also demonstrated the all-round balanced performance benefits for the new Mobilgear SHC XMP technology, including a wide temperature range of application.

To address the issue of micropitting gear wear, our product formulation scientists designed a proprietary combination of additives which would resist traditional gear wear mechanisms as well as protecting against micropitting. Our formulators chose proprietary PAO synthetic base oils to provide exceptional oil life ａnd deposit control ａnd resistance to thermal/oxidative ａnd chemical degradation, as well as the balance of the performance features. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base oil also provides low temperature fluidity characteristcs unmatched by mineral products ａnd is a key benefit for remote, low ambient, applications. The Mobilgear SHC XMP Series lubricants offer the following benefits:

Applications

Application Considerations: While the Mobilgear SHC XMP Series are compatible with mineral oil based products, admixture may detract from their performance. Consequently it is recommended that before changing a system to one of the Mobilgear SHC XMP Series, it should be thoroughly cleaned out ａnd flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits.

Mobilgear SHC XMP Series supreme performance, fully synthetic industrial gear oils are designed to provide optimum equipment protection ａnd oil life even under extreme conditions. They are especially formulated to resist micropitting of modern, case hardened gearing ａnd can operate in both high ａnd low temperature environments. Typical applications include:

• Wind turbines, especially highly loaded ａnd shock loaded units, remotely located units ａnd extreme temperature environments
• Plastic extruder gearboxes
• Modern, highly loaded gearboxes used in the paper, steel, oil, textile, lumber ａnd cement industries where gear protection ａnd optimum oil life are required.
