CASTROL OPTIGEAR 1100/460

Castrol Optigear 1100 Range (previously called Tribol™ 1100 Range) of high-performance extreme pressure gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related problems in heavily loaded industrial gears and bearings. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, sliding and rolling bearings, the Optigear 1100 gear oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail.

Advantages
Compared to conventional non-PD oils, Castrol Optigear 1100 can deliver the following advantages:

• Tests have shown a reduction in the coefficient of friction of up to 60% over conventional oils without PD technology¹ which can deliver energy savings, lower lubricant and component temperatures and improve operational efficiency
• In laboratory tests Castrol PD additives were shown to prevent the progression of micro-pitting in pre-damaged gears. Non-PD oils used in pre-damaged gears showed existing wear levels increased up to three times².
