Castrol Optigear Synthetic A460Castrol Optigear Synthetic A Fully synthetic gear oils based on polyalphaolefin with MICROFLUX TRANS®, the load-active additive combination Description OPTIGEAR® SYNTHETIC A are fully synthetic high performance gear oils with MICROFLUX TRANS® additives. They offer optimum wear protection under very extreme thermal loads ａnd operating conditions such as vibrations, oscillating motions ａnd shock loads. The wide range of temperature - especially in case of low starting temperatures - ａnd the high load carrying capacity are special assets of these industrial gear oils. Thermally ａnd mechanically stable polyalphaolefin ａnd the MICROFLUX TRANS® additive combination adjust themselves to the changing operating conditions ａnd actively prevent wear. Application • For especially highly loaded industrial gears - in case of great changes in temperature ａnd extreme loads • For wind power stations, conveyor belts, crane control gears, lifts, rolling mills etc. • For highly loaded eccentrics, gear couplings, chain drives, robot drives ａnd joints as well as positive power transmissions • For all types of rolling ａnd sliding bearings, especially for tapered roller bearings in extruders, shaking screens, vibrators or for spindle presses • For transport systems operated during winter • Especially suited for arctic countries such as Canada, North America ａnd Scandinavia Advantages • good viscosity/temperature behavior, wide range of operating temperature • excellent low-temperature behavior, easy starting, good fluidity at extremely low temperatures • optimum wear protection - smoothing of pitting ａnd scoring • especially low coefficient of friction leading to reduced friction ａnd energy costs, lowering of oil temperatures • significantly extended oil change intervals, reduced maintenance costs • shear-stable • high corrosion protection, compatible with non-ferrous metals • compatible with conventional paints ａnd sealing materials Page 1 / 2 10 February 2010, Version 1 Typical Characteristics Additional Information • Observe the viscosity specified by the machine manufacturer. • Miscible with all gear oils based on mineral oil. Maximum performance is only guaranteed if not mixed with any other product. • Quality Standard: OPTIGEAR SYNTHETIC A are CLP-HC gear oils (DIN 51502) ａnd exceed minimum requirements according to DIN 51517 part 3 Castrol, Optigear, ａnd the Castrol logo are trademarks of Castrol Limited, used under licence This data sheet ａnd the information it contains is believed to be accurate as of the date of printing.
