Product details
L500 Series
MOTTA L500 is a range of mineral-based extreme-pressure gear oils for enclosed industrial drives using splash or circulating lubrication. Its balanced additive system combines load-carrying performance with protection against wear, rust and corrosion, keeping gear teeth and bearings protected under heavy loads and repeated shock loading.
Oxidation stability and deposit control help keep gear housings and oil passages clean during sustained operation. Water separation and foam control help maintain effective lubrication where moisture or air enters the system. The seven ISO viscosity grades provide practical coverage for plant reducers, conveyors and other industrial drives, supporting dependable production and straightforward maintenance.
Performance and Benefits
Load capacity and tooth-surface protection
Extreme-pressure and anti-wear performance protect heavily loaded gear contacts against scuffing and wear, helping preserve gear condition during repeated starts and shock loading.
Oxidation resistance and system cleanliness
Resists oil degradation and the formation of sludge and deposits, helping keep oil passages clear and reduce the maintenance burden in continuously operated gear units.
Water separation and corrosion protection
Separates incidental water so it can be removed during maintenance, while rust and corrosion protection safeguard metal surfaces exposed to humid operating conditions.
Foam control and material compatibility
Controls persistent foam and provides compatibility with commonly used gear and seal materials, supporting effective lubrication and dependable sealing in correctly maintained equipment.
Principal Applications
- Enclosed spur, helical and bevel gearboxes using splash or circulating lubrication.
- Reducers driving conveyors, mixers, dryers, extruders, fans and paper-processing equipment.
- Industrial gear drives in pumps, presses, screens and other production machinery exposed to heavy or shock loading.
- Gear-associated bearings and couplings where a mineral CLP gear oil of the selected viscosity is specified.
- Recommended for Flender-type gearboxes specifying ISO VG 100-680 mineral gear oils; match the exact gearbox lubricant requirement.
Select viscosity for the gear design, load, speed and operating temperature. Use the gearbox manufacturer's lubricant specification; this range is not an automotive axle oil or an open-gear compound.

L800 Series
MOTTA L800 is a range of fully synthetic polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricants for industrial gears, bearings and specified compressor duties. Eight viscosity grades, from ISO VG 68 to VG 1000, combine high viscosity index with low friction and traction for equipment operating under high sliding loads or demanding temperature conditions.
The formulation provides wear and micropitting protection, thermal and oxidation stability, and control of rust, corrosion and foam. These properties support durable lubrication of heavily loaded gear teeth and bearings, while the wax-free PAG base stocks provide low-temperature flow and effective heat transfer.
Performance and Benefits
Low friction in sliding contacts
Low friction and traction are particularly valuable in high-reduction worm drives, helping limit frictional losses and heat generation at loaded contacts.
Gear and bearing protection
Antiwear and micropitting protection help preserve tooth surfaces and bearings under demanding loads and sustained operation. FZG ≥12.
Temperature and oil durability
High viscosity index, oxidation resistance and effective heat transfer support useful oil-film strength across temperature changes and resist deposit formation.
Clean, stable lubrication
Rust and corrosion protection safeguard metal surfaces. Foam control helps maintain a dependable lubricant supply in circulating and splash-lubricated equipment.
Principal Applications
- Enclosed gearboxes, especially high-reduction worm drives specifying PAG lubrication.
- Conveyors, lifts, material handling, printing and packaging machinery; snow lifts, mixers and agitators.
- Gear and bearing duties in cement, metalworking, plastics, food-processing and textile plants.
- Reciprocating, rotary, screw and centrifugal gas compressors specified for the selected PAG lubricant.
Select viscosity for speed, load and operating temperature. Confirm PAG compatibility with the existing oil, seals and coatings before conversion. Compressor selection also depends on the gas and machine requirements.
