Description
High performance gear oil ISO VG 150
Castrol Optigear™ Synthetic RO150 high-performance synthetic oil, developed especially for gears used in rail trafficand mechanical engineering applications (such as in Robots).
Application
- 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.
Specifications / Approvals
- DIN 51517-3 (CLP)
Advantages
