Manufacturer's description

Premium "zinc-free" industrial hydraulic fluids. Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX hydraulic fluids are premium lubricants that use zinc-free technology to deliver outstanding protection and performance in most manufacturing operations and in many mobile equipment operations.

Applications

• Industrial and manufacturing hydraulic systemsSuitable for a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications where ISO HM type hydraulic fluids are recommended.
• Suitable for marine and mobile applications where ISO HM type hydraulic fluids are recommended. For applications with wide temperature variations, we recommend the ISO HV series of hydraulic fluids, Shell Tellus "V".
• providing improved filter life and improved equipment protection. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
• Danfoss Vickers E-FDGN-TB002-EFor the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell technical helpdesk. Compatibility and miscibility
• CompatibilitySuitable for use with most hydraulic pumps
• Fluid compatibilityCompatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil based hydraulic fluids must not be mixed with other fluid types (for example environmentally acceptable or fire-resistant fluids).
• Compatible with seal materials and paintsCompatible with the seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.
• Marine and mobile hydraulic systems: Suitable for marine and mobile applications where ISO HM type hydraulic fluids are recommended
• For applications with wide temperature variations, we recommend the ISO HV series of hydraulic fluids, Shell Tellus "V"

Performance & benefits

• Offers an improved capability to extend fluid maintenance intervals and reduce equipment downtime: an extended ASTM D943 TOST lifetime, with oxidative stability designed for up to 7,500 hours TOST life, and excellent resistance to breakdown in the presence of water and heat.
• These features provide extended maintenance capability without compromising protection or performance, even under severe operating conditions.
• Advanced zinc-free anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions, including heavy-duty operation, demonstrated in tough industry standard hydraulic pump tests such as Bosch Rexroth RFT-APU-CL (RDE 90245 for ISO 32/46/68), Parker Denison (T6H20C for ISO 32/46/68) and Danfoss Vickers E-FDGN-TB002-E (35VQ25 for 32/46/68).
• Wet and dry filterability, coupled with excellent water separation, air release and anti-foam performance, help ensure system cleanliness, supporting hydraulic system efficiency.
• At the point of filling, meets the DIN 51524 specification with a maximum value of 21/19/16 measured to the ISO 4406 industry standard; fluid cleanliness reduces the potential for filter blocking, providing enhanced filter life and improved equipment protection.

Standards & approvals

• DIN 51524-2 HLP

  Hydraulic oil HLP — DIN 51524, part 2

  Part 2 of the German hydraulic fluid standard: HLP oils — mineral oils with oxidation, corrosion and antiwear additives. It is the most widely quoted reference in industrial hydraulics.

• ISO 11158 HM

  Hydraulic oil, type H HM — ISO 11158

  The international standard for mineral hydraulic fluids; class HM is the antiwear oil, the ISO counterpart of DIN 51524-2 HLP.

• ASTM D 6158 HM

  ASTM D6158, type HM — antiwear hydraulic oil

  The American standard for mineral hydraulic oils of type HM, that is, oils with antiwear additives. It is the ASTM counterpart of DIN 51524-2 HLP and ISO 11158 HM.

• GB 11118.1 L-HM

  GB 11118.1 L-HM — hydraulic oil (China)
