Castrol Optigear Synthetic A 320 Synthetic gear oil 20l canister

Castrol Optigear Synthetic A 320 is a fully synthetic high performance gear oil based on polyalphaolefin with MICROFLUX TRANS®, the load-active additive combination (ISO VG 320).

• Pack size: 20 L canister

Applications

• 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

Benefits

• 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

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.
