Mobil SHC™ Gear Series is a line of exceptional performance, synthetic industrial gear oils designed to provide outstanding protection of gears and bearings, extended oil life even under extreme conditions, helping to enable problem-free operation of equipment and increased customer productivity. These scientifically engineered synthetic lubricants are formulated from synthetic base fluids that have exceptional oxidation and thermal properties and excellent low temperature fluidity. The high viscosity index of these oils deliver less change in viscosity with changes in temperature, enabling wider operating temperature range and improved low temperature startup. Mobil SHC Gear Series lubricants contain an advanced proprietary Additives system designed to provide excellent protection against conventional wear modes such as scuffing as well as a high level of resistance against micropitting fatigue. In addition, compared to conventional gear oil chemistries, it offers the potential for improved lubrication of gearbox rolling element bearings. Mobil SHC Gear Series products offer outstanding rust and corrosion protection relative to conventional gear oils, even in the presence of seawater contamination. They show no tendency to plug fine filters even when wet and have excellent compatibility with ferrous and non-ferrous metals even at elevated temperatures. Mobil SHC Gear Series also exhibit outstanding compatibility with elastomers in static seal tests. They have outstanding EP properties that provide protection even under shock load conditions. The synthetic base stocks used in Mobil SHC Gear Series oils 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 can help improve gear efficiency. Mobil SHC Gear lubricants are recommended for enclosed industrial gear drives including steel-on-steel spur, helical, and bevel gears. They are especially recommended for applications that may be subject to micropitting: especially heavily loaded gearboxes with surface-hardened tooth metallurgies. It may also be used in gear applications where extreme low and/or high temperatures are encountered and applications where corrosion may be severe.

Features

• Mobil SHC Gear Series lubricants are part of the Mobil SHC line of products that are recognized and appreciated around the world for innovation and outstanding performance. These synthetic products, pioneered by our research scientists, symbolize the continuing commitment to using advanced technology to provide lubricants with excellent balanced performance. A key factor in the development of Mobil SHC Gear Series was the close contacts between our scientists and application specialists with key OEMs to ensure that our product offering would provide exceptional performance with rapidly evolving industrial gear designs and operation. 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 Mobil SHC Gear technology, including a wide temperature range of application. To address the issue of micropitting wear, our product formulation scientists designed a proprietary combination of Additivess which would resist traditional gear wear mechanisms as well as protecting against micropitting. Mobil SHC Gear products 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 patent-pending combination of synthetic base oils also provides exceptional low temperature fluidity characteristics unmatched by conventional mineral oil gear lubricants and is a key benefit for remote, low ambient temperature applications.
• Superb protection from micropitting fatigue wear as well as high resistance to traditional scuffing wear - Helps extend gear and bearing life in enclosed gear drives operating under extreme conditions of load, speed and temperature. Helps reduce unplanned downtime, less maintenance especially critical for difficult to access gearboxes.
• Excellent resistance to degradation at high temperatures - Helps extend oil life and drain intervals and reduce oil consumption, which can lower maintenance costs.
• Low traction - Helps reduce energy consumption and lower operating temperatures.
• High viscosity index equating to reduced viscosity change with temperature - Ability to operate at both high and low temperatures: especially critical in remote applications with no oil cooling or heating.
• Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion and very good demulsibility - Helps to ensure smooth, trouble-free operation at high temperatures or in applications subject to water contamination. Excellent compatibility with a variety of soft metals.
• Excellent shear stability - Helps extend gear and bearing life.
• Resistence to filter plugging, even in the presence of water - Fewer filter changes, which can help reduce maintenance costs.
• Excellent seal compatibility - Less contamination and lower potential for oil leakage.
• Excellent compatibility with common gearbox materials and with mineral-based gear oils - Easy changeover from many mineral products.
