Description
Castrol Optigear 1100/220 Mineral oil-based gear oil ISO VG 220
Castrol Optigear™ 1100 Range (previously called Tribol™ 1100 Range) of high-performance extreme pressure gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related problems in heavily loaded industrial gears and bearings. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, sliding and rolling bearings, the Optigear 1100 gear oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail.
Application
Optigear 1100 oils are particularly valuable in the running-in phase as well as in applications where surfaces have already been damaged in the micro-range. Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel and planetary gears as well as in geared couplings.
Optigear 1100 gear oils may be used in rolling and sliding bearings. Particularly suitable for Heavy duty reciprocating pumps for drilling mud or cement placement offshore and onshore drilling sites. Optigear 1100 oils have good water separation properties.
Specifications / Approvals
- DIN 51517-3 (CLP)
- ISO 12925-1 (CKC)
Advantages
- Tests have shown a reduction in the coefficient of friction of up to 60% over conventional oils without PD technology¹ which can deliver energy savings, lower lubricant and component temperatures and improve operational efficiency
- In laboratory tests Castrol PD additives were shown to prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears. Non-PD oils used in pre-damaged gears showed existing wear levels increased up to three times²
- Smoothing existing gear damage reduces the cost of repairs and replacements and improves operating efficiency by increasing equipment reliability
- Friction, heat and vibration are reduced
- Oil with Castrol PD additives provides superior protection with wear levels of less than half those observed in tests with conventional non-PD oil³ to help extend planned gear and bearing life
- Extended lubricant service life and relubrication intervals can help to reduce costs and waste oil disposal
- Full load operation is achieved in a short time, virtually eliminating the running-in period
