OIL HPL OPTIGEAR SYNTHETIC 1710/320
Castrol Optigear Synthetic™ 1710 (formerly known as Tribol 1710) is a range of high-pressure synthetic gear oils for high-performance applications, developed to help combat wear-related problems in industrial gears and bearings subjected to high loads.
Optigear Synthetic 1710 is formulated with Castrol’s Tribol Gear Oil Additive (TGOA) Plastic Deformation (PD) and high-quality mineral base oils and synthetic polyalphaolefins.
The TGOA PD helps to improve the lubricant’s performance when operating temperature and loads reach a certain activation energy level, by allowing micro-smoothing of surface roughness without increasing wear.
The smoothed surface provides optimum protection against wear and an extremely low coefficient of friction, particularly in applications subject to extreme pressures, shock loads, vibrations or low speeds.
TGOA PD helps to protect against scoring and shock loads whilst maintaining a high load-carrying capacity, and can help prevent the progression of micro-pitting in previously damaged gears.
