Description
Castrol Optigear MX is a range of mineral base high-performance gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related problems
in gears and bearings.
Optigear MX 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 microsmoothing 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.
Application
Optigear MX may be used in spur gear, bevel gears or planetary gear units and in heavy loaded gear units, e.g. wind
turbine main gears.
Optigear MX 150 can be used in the textile industry.
Advantages
Compared to conventional non-PD oils, Castrol Optigear MX can deliver the following advantages:-
High load carrying capacity.
Superior micro pitting protection.
Excellent friction reduction.
Good filtration properties.
Excellent bearing lubrication suitability.
