Product Description
Castrol Optigear™ BM is a range of high-performance extreme pressure gear oils, developed to tackle wear-related
problems in heavily loaded industrial gears and bearings.
Optigear BM 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 microsmoothing 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.
Specific grades within the Optigear BM range meet the requirements of DIN 51517 part 3 CLP and the requirements of a
wide range of industrial bodies and equipment manufacturers. Oils are formulated with detergent additives.
Optigear BM 68 and BM 220 are also classified as CGLP oils (DIN 51502).
