Castrol Optigear Synthetic RO 150

Castrol Optigear™ Synthetic RO 150 high-performance synthetic oil, developed especially for gears used in rail traffic and mechanical engineering applications (such as in Robots). The properties of Optigear Synthetic RO mean it can be used in extreme climate conditions and for long-term use. Optigear Synthetic RO is formulated with Castrol’s Microflux Trans (MFT) Plastic Deformation (PD) additive. MFT PD helps improve performance when operating temperature and loads reach a certain level of activation energy, by enabling the micro-smoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear. The smoothed surface delivers optimum wear protection and an extremely low coefficient of friction, especially in applications which experience extreme pressure, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds. MFT PD helps to protect against scuffing and shock loading, while maintaining a high load carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears.

Optigear Synthetic RO 150 can be used for all types of spur gear teeth, also under difficult load conditions. Bevel gear units, including those with a large offset (hypoid) and heavy alternating loads. All types of roller bearings, with heavy loads and low and high temperatures. Can be used in a very broad range of temperatures (no preheating needed in winter).

Dip lubrication at high numbers of revolutions, as well as injection and oil mist lubrication. Filtering (mechanical) does not result in any additive loss. Not for synchronised gears or limited slip differentials due to low friction coefficients.

Castrol Optigear Synthetic RO 150 Advantages:

• High-pressure absorption and excellent wear protection¹
• Safe bearing lubrication in high- and low-temperature ranges
• High seizure load-bearing capacity¹
• Above-average application times – even under difficult conditions¹
• Reduction of friction coefficient and operating temperature¹
• Good corrosion protection¹
• Long service life for gears¹
• Exceeds requirements regarding wear protection in line with DIN 51517, part 3

¹When compared to conventional gear oils.

All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
