which are dependent in turn on RV gear reducers
where a high quality industrial gear oil
and also grease are important to its reliability and precision.

and their operators to ensure we understand their friction points
or challenges in operation
and that we can improve efficiencies
through leveraging a number of lubricant
as well as service solutions
to help improve and reduce their total cost of ownership.

The difference in using oil and grease
in robotic systems is mainly depending
on the application from the OEM

the environment
and also the design of the OEM.
For example, the Shell Gadus S4 V80 XE
was especially designed for the RV reducers.
and there the focus was more to control
the friction regime of the bearings in the RV
to make sure we increase the lifetime.
Next to that,
[Visual]
Screen transitions to Edward Worthington speaking and facing towards the camera.
[Subtitles on screen continue]
we have the development of the harmonic drive greases
where we specially focus on film strength
which gives protection to the gears.
For both that means we get a longer lifetime
and you have a reduction on your downtime.
[Visual]
Transition to animation of four robotic arms working on a car manufacturing line with car parts at the side.
[Subtitles on screen continue]
When using high quality lubricants,
they basically reduce the friction,
are more stable over a longer time
and are better resistant against environmental circumstances.

and anti-wear performance
provides exceptional protection for gears and bearings in robotics.
[Visual]

[Subtitles on screen continue]
So thanks to its very low pour point
and low temperature fluidity
as well as it high viscosity index,
Shell robotic gear oil S4 150 is also suitable for applications
across a wide variety of operating temperatures.
