Global Product Code: 001A0931
Application:
Shell Omala Oil F 460 is a premium-quality, lead-free industrial gear oil formulated for high-performance lubrication of heavy-duty gear systems. It is ideal for steel gear transmissions, bearings, and splash or circulation-lubricated gearboxes operating under high loads and elevated temperatures. This product is not suitable for use in automotive hypoid gears or systems with fine filtration (<10 microns).
Performance Features & Benefits:
- Superior Load-Carrying Capacity: Performs better than leaded oils in EP testing, with gear and bearing wear significantly reduced under extreme pressure conditions.
- Micro-Pitting Resistance: Passes FVA-54/II grey staining test at load stage 10 (90 °C), preventing early surface fatigue.
- Thermal & Oxidative Stability: Provides extended oil life and sludge resistance at operating temperatures up to 100 °C.
- Corrosion Protection: Effectively protects both steel and bronze components—even in water-contaminated environments.
- Water Shedding Properties: Excellent demulsibility allows easy removal of water from systems, reducing wear and corrosion risks.
- Health-Conscious & Lead-Free: Safer for operators and more environmentally responsible than traditional leaded gear oils.
Main Application Areas:
- Heavily loaded steel gear transmissions
- Industrial gear drives requiring full EP performance
- Bearings in circulating and splash-lubricated systems
