Description
Mobil SHC Gear 320
Mobil SHC Gear 320 is one of a series of oils that are synthetic, high performance industrial gear lubricants. This range has been specially formulated to offer an impressive level of protection for bearing and gear systems. The oils are also designed to be long-lasting. This product’s aim is to guarantee smooth and fuss-free operation for gearbox systems, even when operating under extremely elevated temperatures.
Synthetic lubricants form the basis of the formula. The additives display exceptional low temperature fluidity in addition to ideal thermal and oxidation characteristics. The formulation ensures protection against wear and tear as well as the build-up of deposits, such as sludge and other contaminants.
Product features and benefits
Mobil SHC Gear 320 boasts some key characteristics that explain why the formula is so sought after, and that justify its position as a lubricant market leader. These include the following.
Resistance to high temperature degradation
This lubricant offers outstanding resistance to degradation, even when in use in extremely high temperature environments. Engine performance as well as lifespan is enhanced, and the machinery also requires less frequent lubrication and drain intervals, meaning lower costs and less equipment downtime.
Micropitting and wear protection
The entire Mobil SHC Gear series of lubricants offer a very high level of protection against all kinds of machinery wear, including micro pitting and fatigue wear. This means that bearing and gear life can be prolonged, and this even applies in enclosed gear drives which operate in extremely demanding speed, temperature and load conditions. This also reduces machine downtime, which is particularly useful in the case of difficult to access gearboxes.
Protection against corrosion and rust
This superior lubricant is also highly resistant to the accumulation of rust, corrosives and other such contaminants. This ensures sleek and trouble-free operation, even where processing requires an extremely elevated temperature or involves water contamination. The product is therefore highly compatible with various soft metals.
Additional features
Key features of Mobil SHC Gear 320 include great seal compatibility, low traction levels and good shear stability. These features can assist in extending the life of bearings, as well as offering an improved performance. There is thus less need for equipment maintenance and the downtime associated with this.
Ideal applications
This whole product range is designed to resist micro pitting, and Mobil SHC Gear 320 is no exception. This applies to both modern and case-hardened gear systems, operating in all types of temperature conditions. The product is therefore perfect for use in conjunction with plastic extruder gearbox systems.
The Mobil SHC Gear 320 lubricant is also very compatible with highly loaded or modern gears, such as those used in the cement, lumber, oil, paper, steel and textile industries where both the protection of equipment and extended oil life can be critical. This product is also recommended for use with enclosed industrial gear drives like bevel, helical and steel-on-steel spur gears.
Product compatibility
While this product can be used with the vast majority of lubricants that are mineral oil based, mixing them with other oils could adversely affect their performance. It is therefore best to completely flush out and thoroughly clean machinery before making the switch to any Mobil SHC Gear oil, to ensure the best possible performance.
