Product Overview

Shell® Omala S4 WE 220 | Product Data Sheet

Product description

Shell® Omala S4 WE 220 is an advanced synthetic heavy duty industrial worm drive gear oil formulated using specially selected polyalkylene glycol base fluids and additives. It offers outstanding lubrication performance under severe operating conditions, including improved energy efficiency, long service life, and high resistance to micro-pitting.

Product typeAdvanced Synthetic Industrial Gear Oil (previous name: Shell Tivela S)
ISO viscosity grade220
Base fluidPolyalkylene glycol (PAG)
SpecificationDIN 51517-3 (CLP)

Main applications

  • Enclosed industrial worm gear systems operating under severe conditions, including high load, very low or elevated temperatures, and wide temperature variations
  • Extended life systems where maintenance is infrequent or inaccessible, such as yaw gears in wind turbine installations
  • Lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems

Not recommended for components manufactured from aluminium or aluminium alloys. For highly-loaded spur and helical gears, the Shell Omala "G" series oils are recommended; for automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used. Fully approved by Bonfiglioli.

These characteristics are typical of current production. Whilst future production will conform to Shell's specification, variations in these characteristics may occur.

Compatibility & miscibility

High quality epoxy paints are recommended, as polyalkylene glycols will tend to attack certain conventional paints. Shell® Omala S4 WE has been found to be satisfactory with nitrile and Viton seal materials, although Viton seals are preferred.

Shell® Omala S4 WE contains polyalkylene glycols and is not compatible with mineral oils or most other synthetic lubricant types. Care should be taken when changing from such products: the system should be flushed with the minimum quantity of Shell Omala S4 WE, operating under no load and draining while warm. Ideally, seals exposed to mineral oils should also be replaced.

Shell® Omala S4 WE is also not miscible with some other polyalkylene glycols, so caution is needed when topping up. Generally the preference is to avoid mixtures by draining and refilling.
