Applications

 N/A Low Temperature Exterior Hydraulic Applications - Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 has been designed for use in all types of hydraulic systems where the operating temperature does not continuously exceed 75 C. Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 has been specifically designed for systems that must be started-up at extremely low temperatures, with a subsequent temperature increase during operation.

Note: Operators are recommended to check with the equipment manufacturer to determine whether the viscosity characteristics of Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 are suitable for use in their application.

Features and Benefits

 N/A Low Temperature System Operation and Efficiency - The very high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 ensures that the hydraulic fluid flows at temperatures where conventional hydraulic fluids would become too thick to allow equipment operation. This allows safe equipment start-up at very low temperatures, with no or minimum heating of the system being required. This delivers increased equipment availability and more efficient operation of the hydraulic system, which in turn, helps users obtain higher productivity from their machines.

Extremely Wide Operating Temperature Range - The very high viscosity index of the fresh fluid, coupled with mechanical shear stability, allows operation over a very wide temperature range. All-year round operation with Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 is therefore possible (subject to a maximum operating temperature of 75 C).

Equipment Protection - Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 contains a carefully designed ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives to help protect critical components of the hydraulic system from wear. Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 is manufactued with a quality system assuring the fluid at the Shell plant filling lines meets the requirements of max ISO 4406 21/19/16 class. As recognized by DIN 51524 specification, the oil is exposed to various influences with transport and storage that could affect the cleanliness level. 

Claims (Meets Requirements)

 N/A Dietz Automation GmbH (servo valve and proportional valve test equipment) Frigoscandia (low temperature hydraulic systems) Komatsu (hydraulic systems operating in cold and arctic conditions, -50 C to 35 C) Komatsu Mining (operation in cold and arctic conditions, -50 C to 35 C)

Additional Information

 N/A Compatibility - Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps.

Fluid Compatibility - Shell Tellus S4 VX 32 is compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil hydraulic fluids should not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or fire-resistant fluids).
