Mobil SHC 526
Mobil SHC 526 is an exceptional performance synthetic hydraulic oil formulated using synthesised, wax-free hydrocarbon base fluids combined with a carefully engineered additive system. It is designed to provide outstanding shear stability, anti-wear protection and reliable performance in high-pressure hydraulic systems operating under severe conditions.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC 526 is its excellent wide temperature performance. The high viscosity index allows the oil to maintain effective lubrication at both low start-up temperatures and high operating temperatures, making it suitable for equipment exposed to varying environmental and operating conditions.
Mobil SHC 526 also provides exceptional oxidation stability. This helps extend oil and filter life, reduce sludge formation and maintain system cleanliness. The result is improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs, particularly in demanding hydraulic systems.
Another important benefit is its strong anti-wear protection and film strength. The oil helps protect high-pressure vane, piston and gear pumps, as well as systems containing gears and bearings. This supports longer component life and improved equipment uptime.
Mobil SHC 526 also offers excellent air release, demulsibility and corrosion protection. The formulation reduces foaming, separates water efficiently and protects multi-metallurgy components from rust and corrosion. This ensures consistent hydraulic performance even in systems exposed to moisture contamination.
Mobil SHC 526 is recommended for hydraulic systems prone to deposit build-up, high-pressure hydraulic pumps, numerically controlled machine tools, systems operating across wide temperature ranges and equipment requiring high load-carrying capability. It is also suitable for systems containing gears and bearings and applications where small amounts of water are unavoidable.
Physical characteristics include ISO VG 68 viscosity grade with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 68 mm²/s at 40°C and 11.52 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC 526 has a viscosity index of approximately 158, a density of approximately 0.854 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 240°C and a pour point of approximately −53°C, supporting reliable performance in severe hydraulic applications.
