Category:

Shell Omala S1 W 460

( Previously named: Shell Valvata J )

Compounded mineral oil for worm gear and steam cylinder lubrication

  • High-viscosity refined mineral oil with added fatty compounds

  • Provides stable lubrication and low deposit formation at high temperatures

  • Maintains consistent film strength in low-speed, high-load worm gear operations

  • Resists formation of carbonaceous deposits during extended use

  • Also suitable for lubricating steam cylinders under high temperature and pressure

  • Formerly known as Shell Valvata J

  • Not recommended for highly-loaded worm drives or spur/helical gear systems—use Shell Omala S4 WE or Omala G series instead

  • Meets AGMA 9005-E02 (Compounded) specification

Global Product Code: 001D7832



Application:

Shell Omala S1 W 460 is a compounded mineral-based gear oil specifically developed for enclosed worm gear drives and steam cylinders operating under high temperature and pressure. It provides reliable protection and low deposit formation, making it suitable for slow-speed, high-load applications. This product was formerly known as Shell Valvata J.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Reliable Wear Protection: Provides a stable oil film in low-speed worm gears, reducing wear under start-stop and high-load conditions.
  • Thermal Stability: Formulated to resist gummy or carbonaceous deposits in high-temperature operations.
  • Steam Cylinder Suitability: Recommended for lubrication of high-temperature, high-pressure steam cylinders.
  • Extended Service Life: Low volatility and deposit resistance help extend maintenance intervals.

Main Application Areas:

  • Enclosed industrial worm gear systems
  • Steam cylinder lubrication under high temperature and pressure
  • Low-speed gear systems with intermittent or stop-start operation

Specifications & Approvals:

  • AGMA 9005-E02 (Compounded)

Environmental & Safety Information:
