New Shell Compound Allow Sealed‐for‐Life Gearboxes

Abstract

An entirely new gear lubricant announced by Shell‐Mex and B.P. known as Shell Tivela Compound A, makes it possible, for the first time, to seal industrial gearboxes for the whole of their effective life. The compound was developed in cooperation with Shell Research Ltd. and David Brown Gear Industries Ltd. who are now offering adaptable Radicon speed reducers that are sealed for life.
