CASTROL Optigear Synthetic A 320
Industrial Gear Oils
Optigear Synthetic A 320 is a synthetic high-performance gear oil with Microflux Trans additives. It offers optimal 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 this industrial gear oil. Thermally and mechanically stable polyalphaolefin and the Microflux Trans additive combination adjust themselves to the changing operating conditions and actively prevent wear.
Optigear Synthetic A 320 is a CLP-HC gear oil (DIN 51502) and exceeds the minimum requirements of DIN 51517 part 3.
Optigear Synthetic A 320 is recommended for:
- Highly loaded industrial gears - in case of great changes in temperature and extreme loads.
- Wind power stations, conveyor belts, crane control gears, lifts, rolling mills etc.
- Highly loaded eccentrics, gear couplings, chain drives, robot drives and joints as well as positive power transmissions.
- All types of rolling and sliding bearings, especially for tapered roller bearings in extruders, shaking screens, vibrators or for spindle presses.
- Transport systems operated during winter.
- It is especially suited for arctic countries such as Canada, North America and Scandinavia.
