Exxonmobil Launches Synthetic Industrial Gear Oils

Exxonmobil Lubricants and Petroleum Specialties has introduced of its latest line-up of high-performance, fully synthetic industrial gear oils, known as the Mobil SHC Gear series. The Mobil SHC Gear series has been formulated to help the general manufacturing and processing industries to increase productivity and reduce costs by lowering energy consumption and extending oil drain intervals. The Mobil SHC lubricants offer valuable energy-efficiency benefits across a range of industrial gearbox applications.

In statistically validated laboratory tests and field trials, Mobil SHC Gear fluids exhibited energy savings of up to 3.6 per cent compared with conventional oils. In addition, the high oxidation resistance of the series enables extended oil life up to six times compared with standard mineral gear and bearing lubricants, especially when operating at elevated temperatures. Backed by research and testing, Mobil SHC Gear oils also demonstrate good water-handling properties, enhanced resistance to micropitting fatigue, improved seal compatibility and excellent shear stability, according to the company.

The latest addition to the Mobil SHC brand of high-performance synthetic lubricants, Mobil SHC Gear fluids are approved by Siemens for use in Flender gearboxes. Today, Mobil SHC-branded synthetic lubricants are approved for use in more than 10,000 applications and have exclusive or preferential endorsements from a range of OEMs for more than 2,200 applications, spanning a range of industries.

The new Mobil SHC Gear series further expands Exxonmobil's Mobil industrial lubricants offer developed to provide protection and performance while offering energy-efficiency potential. For example, Mobil DTE 10 Excel, a hydraulic oil, also has the potential to achieve energy savings for general manufacturing and processing companies. In controlled laboratory efficiency testing, Mobil DTE 10 Excel was measured to provide up to a six per cent improvement in hydraulic pump efficiency compared with Mobil DTE 20 when operating in standard hydraulic applications.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
