Product Description
Mobil 600W Cylinder oil is an extra high performance high viscosity oil designed for use in enclosed worm gears operating at moderate to high speeds and temperatures, and where heavy loads, slow speeds or high temperatures demand high viscosity oils. It is also intended for use in all steam engine applications It is formulated from high quality base stocks that are resistant to oxidation and thermal degradation, and the build-up of harmful deposits caused by the high operating temperatures of steam cylinders. It protects against rust and corrosion and provide good film strength and excellent lubricity and is resistant to water washout.
Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil is additized to enhance frictional and load-carrying properties. It is widely used in worm gear applications, couplings and bearings, with viscosity grade depending on operating conditions. In steam applications Mobil 600W Super Cylinder Oil is recommended for saturated and superheated steam up to a temperature of 260ºC. Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil can be applied both by drip feed cups and force feed mechanical lubricating devices.
Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil is the benchmark mineral product for worm gear OEMs and users, and is still recognised as a leading products for steam cylinder applications.
Features and Benefits
The Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil represents the earliest lubricant product marketed by our Corporation's predecessor companies. 600W Cylinder Oil was produced by the Vacuum Oil Company in the second half of the 19th century and was a breakthrough product of its time. Continual upgrading and application of the latest base oil and additive technology has maintained this product series as a leader in its application areas. While steam cylinder applications are now less common, the reputation of Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil in worm gear applications remains unmatched among mineral-based products. Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil offers the following features and potential benefits:

Advantages and Potential Benefits |
| Excellent film integrity at high temperatures | Excellent equipment protection at high temperatures occasioned by variable load conditions, avoiding unexpected downtime and equipment replacement |
| Provision of good sealing film round rods and in glands in steam applications |
| Excellent resistance to deposit formation at high temperatures | Resistant to deposits on areas subject to high spot temperatures, maintaining cleaner systems, requiring less maintenance |
| Excellent anti-wear and low friction properties | Additized grades give reduced wear and high efficiency |
| Very good water separation in absence of additives | Non-additized grade gives ready separation from condensate |
| High quality and built in performance features | Results in fewer unplanned stoppages and reduced maintenance costs |
Applications
Mobil 600W Cylinder Oil is recommended for the following applications:
- The splash lubrication of enclosed worm gears operating at moderate to high speeds and temperatures.
- Steam cylinders, couplings, bearings, and break-in of compressor cylinders.
