SHC Gear 460 Synthetic Industrial Gear Oil

The Mobil SHC Gear 460 is a high-performance synthetic industrial gear oil engineered for outstanding protection of gears and bearings, extending oil life even under extreme conditions. This scientifically formulated lubricant features synthetic base fluids with exceptional oxidation and thermal stability, and excellent low-temperature fluidity. Its high viscosity index ensures less viscosity change across a wide temperature range, facilitating improved low-temperature startup and a broader operating temperature range. The advanced proprietary additive system provides robust protection against conventional wear modes like scuffing and offers high resistance to micropitting fatigue. Compared to conventional gear oils, it can improve the lubrication of gearbox rolling element bearings. Mobil SHC Gear Series products offer superior rust and corrosion protection, even with seawater contamination, and are compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metals at elevated temperatures. They also exhibit excellent compatibility with elastomers and have outstanding extreme pressure (EP) properties for protection under shock load conditions. The synthetic base stocks possess inherently low traction properties, reducing fluid friction in gears and bearings, which can lead to lower operating temperatures and improved gear efficiency. This gear oil is recommended for enclosed industrial gear drives, including spur, helical, and bevel gears, particularly in applications subject to micropitting, heavily loaded gearboxes with surface-hardened tooth metallurgies, extreme temperatures, or severe corrosion.
