Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320
Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 (previously named Tribol 1510/320) gear oil with TGOA represent a significant advancement in gear oil technology. TGOA is an oil additive package designed to reduce friction while providing surface improvement and protection. The TGOA additive package can outperform most other EP and anti-wear additives because of its unique action on friction surfaces. The synthetic base fluid in these gear oils is a polyalphaolefin which can be used in a temperature range from – 45 °C to +120 °C. The TGOA additive package is activated by relatively high specific loads and corresponding temperatures, causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion. This process can be compared with a rolling process. The surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed. Through smoothing of the working surfaces the actual load carrying area is enlarged. During the running-in process, the TGOA package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces. If, because of shock loads or stop- and-go operation, surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimized. Optigear Synthetic 1510 gear oil is available in viscosity grade of 320.
Dependable performance under heavy-duty conditions supports reliable equipment operation where loads, speeds or contamination would otherwise stress conventional lubricants.
Strong thermal and oxidative stability allows Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 to resist breakdown at elevated operating temperatures, helping the product retain its protective properties under demanding duty cycles.
Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 delivers strong wear protection that helps safeguard critical components against surface damage and fatigue, supporting longer service life and reliable operation under sustained load.
Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 gear oil may be used in a temperature range from -45°C to +120°C. It is most valuable during the running-in process as well as in applications where the surfaces have already been damaged in the micro- range. Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel and planetary gears.
Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1510/320 is manufactured to Castrol’s standard tolerances; users should consult the safety data sheet for handling, storage and disposal guidance.
