CASTROL Optigear Synthetic 1510 / 320
Industrial Gear Oils
Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 PAO based synthetic gear oil may be used in a temperature range from -45 °C to +120 °C. It is available in viscosity grade of 320.
This product is most valuable during the running-in process as well as in applications where the surfaces have already been damaged in the microrange.
Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel and planetary gears. They are also used in geared couplings, rolling and sliding bearings as well as in gear drive circulating systems.
Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 is gear oil with TGOA represent a significant advancement in gear oil technology.
TGOA is an oil additive package designed to reduce friction while providing surface improvement and protection. The TGOA additive package can outperform most other EP and anti-wear additives because of its unique action on friction surfaces.
The TGOA additive package is activated by relatively high specific loads and corresponding temperatures, causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion. This process can be compared with a rolling process. The surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed. Through smoothing of the working surfaces the actual load carrying area is enlarged. During the running-in process, the TGOA package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces. If, because of shock loads or stop- and-go operation, surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimized.
