Mobilgear 600 Series (Oil)

The Mobilgear 600 Series are extra high performance gear oils having outstanding extreme pressure characteristics and load-carrying properties, intended for use in all types of enclosed gear drives with circulation or splash lubrication systems.

Product Description

The Mobilgear 600 Series are extra high performance gear oils having outstanding extreme pressure characteristics and load-carrying properties, intended for use in all types of enclosed gear drives with circulation or splash lubrication systems. They are formulated from highly refined base stocks and a special additive system that provides an extremely high level of resistance to oxidation and chemical degradation. They have friction-modifying characteristics that reduce power consumption and lower bulk oil temperatures. The Mobilgear 600 Series oils protect against corrosion and rusting, including seawater. They have excellent water separating properties and they are strongly resistant to foaming in service.

Mobilgear 600 Series oils are recommended for industrial spur, helical and bevel enclosed gears with circulation or splash lubrication, operating at bulk oil temperatures up to 100ºC. For steel-on-steel applications, Mobilgear 600 Series are recommended whereas for bronze-on-steel worm gear applications, Mobil Glygoyle HE Series or Mobil SHC 600 Series products are recommended. They are particularly suitable for gear sets working under heavy or shock loads. Minimum bulk oil temperatures are governed by the pour point of the oil. Suitable heating may be necessary for the heavier grades at ambient temperatures. Mobilgear 600 oils also find broad application in marine gearing applications. Non gear applications include plain and rolling contact bearings - especially highly loaded and slow speed.

Mobilgear 600 Series gear oils are used in a very wide variety of applications in virtually all industrial sectors as well as in marine units. They are the product of choice for many users, worldwide, based on their outstanding performance, equipment protection and application versatility.

Mobilgear SHC Series
(Synthetic, Oil, Oil Synthetic)

The Mobilgear SHC Series lubricants are supreme performance heavy-duty gear oils primarily designed for all kinds of enclosed gearing as well as plain and rolling element bearings.

Product Description

The Mobilgear SHC Series lubricants are supreme performance heavy-duty gear oils primarily designed for all kinds of enclosed gearing as well as plain and rolling element bearings. They are formulated from wax-free polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base stocks that have exceptional oxidation and thermal properties and excellent low temperature fluidity. The combination of a naturally high viscosity index and a unique additive system enables these products to provide outstanding performance under severe high and low temperature operating conditions. The wax-free nature of the PAO base oils also contributes to the products' excellent low temperature performance. They have outstanding EP properties and resistance to shock loading. The base stocks have inherently low traction properties that result in low fluid friction in the load zone of non-conforming surfaces such as gears and rolling element bearings. Reduced fluid friction produces lower operating temperatures and improved gear efficiency.

The Mobilgear SHC Series covers a very wide viscosity range, from ISO VG 150 to 6800. Accordingly, they find application in a wide range of enclosed gear applications, as well as plain and rolling element bearings. Because of the very high viscosities available, this family can meet the lubrication needs of very slow speed and high load/high temperature gears and bearings; they are ideal for situations in which conventional products operate in the boundary regime. They may be substituted for all-loss lubricants in certain open gear applications, but cost of equipment modifications needs to be balanced against the benefits of recirculating the lubricant.

Mobilgear SHC Series lubricants are the products of choice for many OEMs and customers world-wide based on their wide application range and superb performance in tough situations.

Features & Benefits
The Mobilgear SHC family of lubricants is a leading member of the SHC brand of products that are world-renowned for their innovation and performance. These products are based on synthesised PAO base oils pioneered by our scientists and which are now the leading non-mineral base oil used in finished lubricants. These molecular design base stocks provide many benefits not possible with mineral stocks, and they result in final products with unique performance features and customer benefits.

Our formulation scientists have used a proprietary additive combination that fortifies the PAO base oils to provide excellent EP and anti-wear performance, even in shock load situations. The resulting finished products have shown exceptional performance in OEM evaluations, customer field tests and commercial use. The higher viscosity grades are particularly effective in low-speed, high load, high temperature situations and provide excellent gear & bearing protection, longer oil life and excellent all-round service compared with conventional products.

Specific features and potential benefits for the Mobilgear SHC Series of lubricants include:

Features Advantages and Potential Benefits
Outstanding load-carrying and antiwear properties Extended gear life and reduced maintenance costs
Very high viscosity grades available, without reduction of properties or performance capability Provides excellent EHL film protection of gears and bearings even at slow speeds, high loads and high temperatures
Can be used to convert all-loss systems to circulation
Can replace grease in some applications resulting in plant product consolidation
High viscosity index and wax-free base oils Trouble-free operation over a wide temperature range particularly at extremely low temperatures.
Low traction properties Improved gear efficiency and lower operating temperatures lead to lower operating costs
Outstanding thermal/oxidation resistance and long product life Reduced lubricant consumption, reduced product and change-out costs
Light colour Minimises need for gear cleaning prior to inspections, reducing maintenance costs

Applications
Application Considerations: While the Mobilgear SHC 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 Series, it should be thoroughly cleaned out and flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits.

Mobilgear SHC Series oils are recommended for all types of enclosed steel-on-steel gear drives. They are suitable for both circulation and splash lubrication systems. The range of viscosity choices in the Mobilgear SHC Series from ISO 150 to ISO 6800, provides the right lubrication option for low temperature applications where pour points of -46ºC are required to high temperature applications where operating temperatures of 121ºC are encountered. They are particularly recommended for gear sets operating under heavy or shock loads and low speeds where boundary lubrication may prevail. For clarity, applications for this product family are described for two viscosity ranges, as follows:
  • Mobilgear SHC 150 to 1500 - Industrial enclosed spur, helical and bevel gear drives, especially heavy-duty applications especially those found in mining, chemical processing, metals and paper sectors.
