Shell Omala

Premium quality industrial gear oils

Shell Omala Oils are premium quality, extreme-pressure oils designed, primarily, for the lubrication of heavy duty industrial gears. Their high load carrying capacity and anti-friction characteristics combine to provide superior performance in gears and other industrial applications.

Shell Omala Oils are formulated using high viscosity index, solvent refined, base oils and incorporate a specially selected sulphur-phosphorus additive to provide an extreme pressure performance significantly better than that provided by leaded gear oils.

Applications

• Steel gear transmissions
  Lower temperature steel/phosphor bronze contacts
  Lower temperature industrial gear drives including worm gears
  Bearings
  Circulating and splash lubricated systems
  Oil mist applications

Shell Omala Oils should not be used for automotive hypoid gears. The appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used for this purpose.

Performance Features

• Excellent load carrying and anti-friction characteristics. Reduces gear tooth and bearing wear on both steel and bronze components
  Outstanding oxidation and thermal stability. Withstands high thermal loading and resists the formation of sludge and other harmful products of oxidation. Extended oil life, even with bulk oil temperatures up to 100°C in certain applications
  Effective corrosion inhibition. Protects both steel and bronze components, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids
• Lead-free. Operator acceptability. Reduced health risk
  Wide range of viscosities. Caters for the most varied and arduous industrial applications
  Water shedding properties. Shell Omala Oils have excellent water separation properties. Excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems. (Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue on gear and bearing interfaces and promote ferrous corrosion on all internal surfaces. Water contamination should be avoided or removed as quickly as possible after the occurrence.)

Load Carrying Capacity

The load carrying capacity of Shell Omala Oils, as determined in laboratory tests, is significantly better than that of leaded gear oils. Gear tooth wear is reduced, particularly under conditions of high load.
