SHELL SPINDLE® OILS
Premium quality lubricants for high-speed bearings
Product Description
Shell Spindle® Oils are premium quality, highly refined lubricating oils formulated for use in high-speed,
lightly loaded bearings, running at speeds of 20,000 to 40,000 RPMs, found in textile spinning frames and in
automated machine tools. Shell Spindle® Oils provide excellent oxidation stability, rust protection and
resistance to deposit formation. Their low viscosities reduce oil thickness, lowering operating temperatures
by reducing friction. The carefully balanced anti-wear chemistry contained in Shell Spindle® Oils helps
extend equipment life.
Applications
• textile industry where machine oil does not contact fabrics or oil staining is not an issue
• automatic machine tools and other applications where operating speeds are in excess of 10,000 rpm
