Shell Omala S4 WE 460

Application:

Shell Omala S4 WE 460 is a fully synthetic industrial gear oil developed for enclosed worm gear systems operating under heavy loads and extreme temperatures. Utilizing polyalkylene glycol (PAG) chemistry, it delivers long oil life, excellent wear resistance, and improved energy efficiency. This product was formerly branded as Shell Tivela S.

Performance Features & Benefits:

• Extended Oil Drain Intervals: Outstanding oxidative and thermal stability minimizes the formation of sludge and varnish, supporting longer service life.
• Superior Wear Protection: High resistance to micro-pitting and effective performance under shock loads increases the longevity of critical components.
• Improved Efficiency: Proven to reduce power loss and operating temperatures, with documented energy savings up to 15% over mineral oils.

Main Application Areas:

• Heavy-duty industrial worm gear reduction systems under severe conditions
• Maintenance-challenged systems such as wind turbine yaw gears
• Circular or splash-lubricated bearings and gearboxes
• Important: Not compatible with aluminium alloys, mineral oils, or most synthetic lubricants

Specifications & Approvals:

• DIN 51517-3 (CLP)
• Approved by Bonfiglioli
