CASTROL Optigear Synthetic RO 220

Description

Castrol Optigear™ Synthetic RO 220 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.

Application

Optigear Synthetic RO 220 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.
