OPTIGEAR RMO is a multi-grade, high performance and long-term gear oil, especially developed for drive units in railborne traffic and machine construction at extreme climatic conditions. Low temperatures down to - 40°C/- 40°F can be handled without preheating the gears. Optigear RMO 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.
Advantages
Optigear RMO has the following advantages when compared to conventional gear oils:- High load carrying capacity and wear protection.
- Reliable oil supply of bearings at low temperatures.
- High scuffing load capacity.
- Lowering of coefficient of friction and operating temperature.
- Combines good high-temperature with excellent low-temperature properties.
- Reduced running-in period of new drives.
- Good corrosion protection.
- Long service life of gears.
