Mobil SHC Gear 150
Mobil SHC Gear 150 is an exceptional performance synthetic industrial gear oil engineered to deliver outstanding protection for gears and bearings while providing extended lubricant life under severe operating conditions. It is formulated using advanced synthetic base fluids with excellent thermal and oxidation stability, combined with a proprietary additive system designed to protect against wear, scuffing and micropitting fatigue. These properties help ensure reliable equipment performance and improved productivity.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Gear 150 is its excellent resistance to micropitting and traditional gear wear mechanisms. The advanced additive system helps protect heavily loaded gear teeth and rolling element bearings, contributing to extended equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements. This makes the product particularly suitable for modern, highly loaded gearboxes using surface-hardened gearing.
Mobil SHC Gear 150 also provides outstanding thermal and oxidation stability. These characteristics help extend oil life and reduce deposit formation, supporting cleaner systems and longer drain intervals. The synthetic base stocks offer excellent low-temperature fluidity and a high viscosity index, allowing reliable lubrication across a wide temperature range and improving start-up performance in cold environments.
Another important benefit is its low traction coefficient, which reduces friction within gears and rolling element bearings. This helps lower operating temperatures and may improve gearbox efficiency. Mobil SHC Gear 150 also offers excellent rust and corrosion protection, even in the presence of water contamination, along with good demulsibility and resistance to filter plugging. These features help maintain smooth, trouble-free operation.
Mobil SHC Gear 150 is recommended for enclosed industrial gear drives including steel-on-steel spur, helical and bevel gears. It is particularly suitable for modern, heavily loaded gearboxes in industries such as steel, paper, cement, textile and plastics processing. The product is also suitable for plastic extruder gearboxes and applications operating across wide temperature ranges or where corrosion resistance is required.
Physical characteristics include ISO VG 150 viscosity grade with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 150 mm²/s at 40°C and 22.2 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC Gear 150 has a viscosity index of approximately 176, a flash point of approximately 233°C and a pour point of approximately −54°C. The product also provides excellent micropitting resistance and FZG scuffing performance greater than stage 14, supporting reliable performance in demanding industrial gear applications.
