What is EP gear oil?

What is EP gear oil?

OVERVIEW. ADVANTAGE EP GEAR OILS are premium quality industrial gear lubricants made from highly refined base stocks and modern additive technology. These lubricants are designed to provide excellent performance when load carrying capacity is required due to extreme pressures and shock loading.

What is 220 gear oil used for?

Mobil SHC™ Gear 220 is a synthetic gear oil designed to provide protection for gears and bearings, extend oil life even under extreme conditions and help enable problem-free operation. The high viscosity index enables a wider operating temperature range.

What is ep220 oil?

Spartan EP 220 is an ISO Viscosity Grade (VG) 220 industrial extreme pressure gear lubricant, commonly used in splash or circulating systems. It may also be used in worm gears where specified. It may also be used for lubrication of plain bearings, and in rolling contact (anti-friction) bearings.

What is the viscosity of 220 gear oil?

Is Thicker gear oil better?

Higher-viscosity gear oils offer thick films, better wear resistance and protection from corrosion, making them suited to slower gearboxes that operate under more intense pressures and loads. They also seal components better, affording longer change intervals.

What does ISO VG 220 mean?

Thus, an oil or lubricant with a viscosity grade of 220 is thicker and more solid-like than an oil with a VG of 100 or 68. The grade is a literal measurement of the oil’s ratio of absolute viscosity in centipoise (a unit of measurement) to the density, also known as centistoke.

What weight is ep220?

As a synthetic, extreme-pressure gear oil, Chevron Meropa Synthetic EP, 35 pound Pail is a premium gear lubricant designed to exceed the performance requirements of many types of industrial gearboxes.

What is SAE 30 equivalent to?

SAE 10W is equivalent to ISO 32, SAE 20 is equivalent to ISO 46 and 68, and SAE 30 is equivalent to ISO 100. As you can see, there is a bit of a difference between ISO 68 and SAE 30. The viscosity of the fluid largely determines the oil temperatures within which the hydraulic system can safely operate.

What is the difference between ISO and SAE oil?

There is no significant difference between ISO (International Standards Organisation) or SAE (Society of Automotive Engineering). Both organisations provide test standards to allow the ability to reliably compare published filter ratings among manufacturers.

Can I use 80W90 instead of SAE 80?

Yes it is the same… close enough anyway. SAE 90 gear oil is equivalent to 50wt engine oil (SAE 80 = 30wt), so you could always dump that in instead if you want.

What do you use mobilgear EP oil for?

Mobilgear EP oils have good water handling properties and can be used in either splash or circulating systems. Mobilgear EP gear oils are suitable for use wherever industrial gear oils are specified, and provide protection in applications where shock loading occurs.

What kind of oil does Mobil gear 220 use?

Mobil SHC Gear Series ISO VG 150, 220, 320, 460 and 680 are approved under General Electric’s (GE) gear oil specification D50E35 for use in off-highway vehicle motorized wheel gearbox applications.

What makes Mobil Spartan EP 220 a good lubricant?

This high quality oil also provides superior protection against corrosion of steel and copper containing alloys, as well as resisting foaming. Spartan EP 220 has good water handling properties so that water rapidly separates from the oil for easy water elimination.

What kind of lubricants do mobilgear engines use?

Mobilgear™ EP lubricants are a family of industrial extreme pressure gear lubricants. They are formulated with high quality mineral oils, which help reduce sludge formation, helping to increase oil service life.
