600 Series
MAL Gear 600 Series
Industrial Gear Oil
Product Description
The MAL gear 600 Series are extra high performance gear oils having outstanding extreme
pressure characteristics and load-carrying properties, intended for use in all types of enclosed
gear drives with circulation or splash lubrication systems. They are formulated from highly
refined base stocks and a special additive system that provides an extremely high level of
resistance to oxidation and chemical degradation. They have friction-modifying characteristics
that reduce power consumption and lower bulk oil temperatures. The MAL gear 600 Series
oils protect against corrosion and rusting, including seawater. They have excellent water
separating properties and they are strongly resistant to foaming in service. Gear 600 Series
oils are recommended for industrial spur, helical and bevel enclosed gears with circulation or
splash lubrication, operating at bulk oil temperatures up to 100oC. For steel-on-steel
applications, MAL gear 600 Series are recommended whereas for bronze-on-steel worm gear
applications, they are particularly suitable for gear sets working under heavy or shock loads.
Minimum bulk oil temperatures are governed by the pour point of the oil. Suitable heating may
be necessary for the heavier grades at ambient temperatures. MAL Gear 600 oils also find
broad application in marine gearing applications. Non gear applications include plain and
rolling contact bearings – especially highly loaded and slow speed. MAL Gear 600 Series gear
oils are used in a very wide variety of applications in virtually all industrial sectors as well as in
marine units. They are the product of choice for many users, worldwide, based on their
outstanding performance, equipment protection and application versatility.
Features and Benefits
MAL Gear 600 Series products are a leading brand of industrial lubricants that enjoy a
reputation for innovation and high performance capability. These mineral-based products were
designed by our formulation analysts to provide high quality industrial gear oils, meeting
industry standards and with high versatility to lubricate a broad range of industrial and marine
equipment. MAL Gear 600 Series products offer the following features and potential benefits:
Features Advantages & Potential Benefits
Reduced gear tooth wear due to excellent Lower operating costs, higher productivity and longer
load-carrying properties machine life because of outstanding anti-wear
characteristics
Outstanding resistance to oil oxidation and Extended lubricant life with lower lubricant and
degradation lubrication costs and reduced scheduled downtime
Cleaner systems and reduced maintenance because
Minimum Deposits & Sludge of minimal sludge and deposit formation
Wide range of applications Fewer grades of lubricant required because of wide
range of application, leading to lower purchase and
storage costs and less danger of using wrong
lubricant
Superior resistance to rust and corrosion of Excellent protection of machine parts, with reduced
steel of copper and soft metal alloys maintenance and repair costs
Marked resistance to foaming and emulsion Effective lubrication and problem free operation in the
formation presence of water contamination or in equipment
prone to oil foaming
Applications
MAL Gear 600 lubricants are used in a wide range of industrial and marine applications,
especially spur, helical, bevel and worm gearing. Specific applications include:
Industrial gearing for conveyers, agitators, dryers, extruders, fans, mixers, presses, pulpers,
pumps (including oil well pumps), screens, extruders and other heavy duty applications
Marine gearing including main propulsion, centrifuges, deck machinery such as winches,
windlasses, cranes, turning gears, pumps, elevators and rudder carriers.
Non-gear applications include shaft couplings, screws and heavily loaded plain and rolling
contact bearings operating at slow speeds.
