Applications

 N/A Enclosed Industrial Gear Systems - Shell Omala S2 GX 220 technology provides an effective extreme pressure (EP) formulation designed specifically for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel-on-steel, spur, helical, or planetary gear drives, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced circulation systems. Shell Omala S2 GX 220 is also suitable for the lubrication of non-geared applications, that include bearings and other steel-on-steel components with splash or forced circulation systems.

Other Applications - Shell offers a wide range of products for other gear applications that have their own specific requirements:
  • Shell Omala S4 GXV 68 is recommended for gear systems where a synthetic lubricant is specified, when the longest lifespan is required, or when operating in environments that experience large temperature variations. 
  • Shell Omala S5 Wind 320 is recommended for wind turbine main gear drives.
  • Shell Omala S4 WE 68, Shell Morlina S4 B 68 and Shell Omala S1 W 68 are recommended for worm-wheel drives. 
  • For automotive gear applications, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.

Features and Benefits

 N/A Long Oil Life Through Oxidation Stability and Resistance to Thermal Stress - Leading to Reduced Total Cost of Ownership - Shell Omala S2 GX 220 is formulated to reduce the risk of thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval. They withstand high thermal loading and resist the formation of sludge to provide extended oil life capability, even bulk oil temperatures of up to 100 C. 

Excellent Wear and Micropitting Protection - Shell Omala S2 GX 220 is formulated to excellent load carrying capacity and micropitting performance, providing long component life. 

Gear System Efficiency is Maintained by Optimized Water Separation Performance, Corrosion and Foam Control - Shell Omala S2 GX 220 displays a combination of excellent water shedding capability, corrosion protection, and low foam forming tendency. Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue of gears and bearings as well as promoting ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Excellent corrosion protection is provided, even in the presence of contamination by seawater and solids. The oils are designed to minimize the potential for foaming, often experienced in applications where oil reservoir residence times are marginal. Excellent shear stability, maintains viscosity stability throughout the service interval. Further system efficiencies are gained through compatibility with popular seals, sealants, and engineering adhesives, to help avoid leakage. Shell Omala S2 GX 220 is compatible with prevalent paint finishes.
