Description
Castrol Optigear Synthetic A 320 is a fully synthetic high performance gear oil based on polyalphaolefin with MICROFLUX TRANS®, the load-active additive combination (ISO VG 320).
- Pack size: 20 L canister
Applications
- For especially highly loaded industrial gears – in case of great changes in temperature and extreme loads
- For wind power stations, conveyor belts, crane control gears, lifts, rolling mills etc.
- For highly loaded eccentrics, gear couplings, chain drives, robot drives and joints as well as positive power transmissions
- For all types of rolling and sliding bearings, especially for tapered roller bearings in extruders, shaking screens, vibrators or for spindle presses
- For transport systems operated during winter
- Especially suited for arctic countries such as Canada, North America and Scandinavia
Benefits
- good viscosity/temperature behavior, wide range of operating temperature
- excellent low-temperature behavior, easy starting, good fluidity at extremely low temperatures
- optimum wear protection – smoothing of pitting and scoring
- especially low coefficient of friction leading to reduced friction and energy costs, lowering of oil temperatures
- significantly extended oil change intervals, reduced maintenance costs
- shear-stable
- high corrosion protection, compatible with non-ferrous metals
- compatible with conventional paints and sealing materials

Description
OPTIGEAR® SYNTHETIC A are fully synthetic high performance gear oils with MICROFLUX TRANS® additives. They offer optimum 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 these industrial gear oils. Thermally and mechanically stable polyalphaolefin and the MICROFLUX TRANS® additive combination adjust themselves to the changing operating conditions and actively prevent wear.
