Shell Tetra Oil 2SP Low-Viscosity Spindle and Precision Machine Lubricating Oil

Shell Tetra Oil 2SP is a low-viscosity specialty lubricating oil designed for machine-tool applications, particularly high-speed spindles, hydrostatic bearings and selected gear lubrication points. It contains special friction modifiers, antioxidants and rust inhibitors to provide low-viscosity flow, friction control and equipment protection. Heat generated by high-speed spindles can cause thermal expansion of machine components and affect precision machining accuracy. The low-viscosity design of Tetra Oil 2SP helps reduce fluid drag and heat generation while maintaining lubrication of bearings and gear components.

Product Details

Product Features

Low Viscosity:Kinematic viscosity is approximately 2 mm²/s at 40°C, making it suitable for high-speed spindles and other precision lubrication points requiring a very low-viscosity oil. 

Good Friction Reduction:Contains special friction-modifying additives that help improve friction performance in high-speed moving components. 

Good Oxidation Stability:Antioxidant additives help reduce lubricant oxidation during extended machine operation. 

Good Rust Protection:Rust-inhibiting additives help protect bearings, gears and other metallic lubrication points.

Good Low-Temperature Fluidity:A pour point of approximately -30°C supports good flow under relatively low-temperature conditions. 

 

Product Applications

High-Speed Spindle Lubrication:Suitable for high-speed spindles in machine tools and textile machinery, helping reduce friction and heat generation.

Hydrostatic Bearings:Suitable for high-speed hydrostatic bearings in machine tools requiring low-viscosity lubrication. 

Spindle Cooling Systems:Can be used in certain machine-tool spindle cooling and lubrication systems where Shell Tetra Oil 2SP is specified. 

Five-Axis Head Gears:Suitable for five-axis machining-head gears requiring low-viscosity lubrication.

General Spindle-Head Gears:Can be used for spindle-head gears and other precision mechanical transmission components.
