Proven Performance of Mobilgear SHC XMP 320 starts With its Expertly Balanced Formulation

Wind turbines are highly engineered and sophisticated pieces of machinery and whether they are located onshore or offshore, they are often subjected to some of the most demanding operating conditions.

To best protect critical wind turbine components, such as the main gearbox, it is essential to use a high-performance synthetic lubricant, like Mobilgear SHC XMP 320. To help maximise productivity and reduce unscheduled downtime, Mobilgear SHC XMP 320 has been formulated to offer high levels of performance in all the critical areas required to keep a gearbox working efficiently. This includes outstanding oxidative stability and water tolerance as well as excellent long term filterability, gear and bearing protection.

Today, Mobilgear SHC XMP 320 is used to protect more than 30,000 wind turbine gearboxes worldwide and is the initial-fill gear oil of choice for the majority of the world's top wind turbine builders. Even when Mobilgear SHC XMP 320 is not the initial fill gear oil, wind turbine operators frequently choose it for second-fill applications when the initial turbine warranty is up, usually after three to five years.

By comparison, as the chart to the left shows, some competitive synthetic gear oils are formulated specifically to deliver exceptional results in one area but often sacrifice performance in many other areas. Only by selecting an oil which has a balanced formulation can operators look towards maximising productivity. Source: ExxonMobil Research
