Manufacturer's description

Shell Omala S2 GX are premium-quality extreme-pressure (EP) oils intended for lubricating industrial gears subjected to arduous operating conditions. Their high load carrying capacity, protection against micro-pitting and compatibility with seals and paints combine to deliver excellent performance in enclosed gear applications.

Applications

• Enclosed industrial gearsShell Omala S2 GX technology provides an effective extreme-pressure (EP) formulation designed specifically for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel spur, helical or planetary gears, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced-circulation lubrication.
• Shell Omala S2 GX oils are also suitable for lubricating non-geared applications, including bearings and other steel-on-steel components with forced-circulation or splash systems. Shell offers a wide range of products for other gear-related applications that have their own specific requirements.
• Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus is recommended for gear systems where a synthetic lubricant is specified, when the longest service life is required, or when operating in environments with wide temperature variations.
• Shell Omala S5 Wind 320 is recommended for wind turbine main gearboxes.
• Shell Omala S4 WE, Shell Morlina S4 B and Shell Omala S1 W are recommended for worm wheel drives.
• Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus and Shell Omala S2 GX Plus are recommended if SEW approval is required.
• Shell PANOLIN S4 Gear and Shell PANOLIN S4 Gear EAL are recommended if biodegradable lubricants are required.
• For automotive gear applications, the appropriate Shell Spirax oil should be used.
• For gear systems or other applications using a filtration unit finer than 10 microns, please consult your local Shell technical advisor and product application specialist before using Shell Omala S2 GX.
• Specifications, approvals and recommendations: meets or exceeds the following industry standards:
• The product has been approved by: Flender – approved to Flender T 7300. Shell Omala S2 GX 100-680 is approved by Flender for use in Flender helical, bevel, planetary and marine gear units without multi-disc clutches.
• For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell technical helpdesk.
• Other applications: Shell Omala S2 GX oils are also suitable for lubricating non-geared applications, including bearings and other steel-on-steel components with forced-circulation or splash systems
• Shell offers a wide range of products for other gear-related applications that have their own specific requirements
• AGMA EP 9005-F16. The product has been approved by
• Flender – approved to Flender T 7300. Shell Omala S2 GX 100-680 is approved by Flender for use in Flender helical, bevel, planetary and marine gear units without multi-disc clutches. Typical physical properties: kinematic viscosity @40 °C mm2/s; kinematic viscosity @100 °C mm2/s; viscosity index; flash point COC °C; pour point °C; density @15 °C kg/m3. These values may vary.

Performance & benefits

• Long oil life through oxidation stability and resistance to thermal stress, reducing total cost of ownership, even at bulk oil temperatures up to 100°C.
• Excellent load-carrying capacity and micropitting resistance, providing long component life.
• Gear-system efficiency is maintained through enhanced water shedding, extra corrosion protection and better foam control, even in the presence of seawater or solids contamination.
• Excellent shear stability, maintaining viscosity throughout the service interval, and compatibility with common seals, engineering adhesives and paint finishes.

Standards & approvals
