MotulTech GEAR SY 220, 208L

MotulTech GEAR SY 220 is a high-performance synthetic ISO VG 220 gear oil formulated with PAO-Ester technology. The product is designed for the lubrication of gearboxes operating under heavy loads and at high temperatures. Its advanced formulation provides excellent extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties, outstanding oxidation resistance and excellent water separation characteristics. A high viscosity index helps maintain suitable lubrication performance across a wide temperature range, supporting reliable gearbox operation under demanding industrial conditions.

Applications:

MotulTech GEAR SY 220 is designed for the lubrication of industrial gearboxes and reduction gears operating under heavy loads and at elevated temperatures. Its synthetic PAO-Ester base and high-pressure performance make it suitable for demanding gearbox applications where effective wear protection, oxidation resistance and stable lubricant properties during intensive operation are required.

Product advantages and benefits:

• Excellent extreme-pressure properties: provide effective protection for mating gear surfaces operating under heavy loads.
• Effective anti-wear protection: helps reduce wear of gearbox components and supports long-term, reliable equipment operation.
• Excellent oxidation resistance: helps maintain lubricant performance during operation at elevated temperatures.
• Non-corrosive to non-ferrous metals: the formulation does not cause corrosion of non-ferrous metals, particularly bronze alloys.
• Excellent demulsifying properties: promote efficient separation of water from the oil, supporting reliable lubrication system performance.
• High viscosity index: a viscosity index of 161 provides favourable viscosity-temperature characteristics.
• Very good low-temperature properties: a pour point below -30°C helps maintain suitable fluidity at low temperatures.
• High flash point: a typical value of 242°C supports use in demanding industrial applications and elevated-temperature operating conditions.
• Low foaming tendency: a result of 0/0 according to NF T60-129 supports stable lubrication and reliable gearbox operation.

Technical data – MotulTech GEAR SY 220:

PAO-Ester technology:
MotulTech GEAR SY 220 belongs to the GEAR SY family of synthetic PAO-Ester gear oils. The synthetic formulation combines excellent oxidation resistance with favourable viscosity-temperature characteristics. This enables the lubricant to maintain its high-pressure properties when lubricating gearboxes operating under heavy loads and at high temperatures.

Gearbox protection:
High extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties help protect the mating surfaces of gearbox components. At the same time, the formulation does not cause corrosion of non-ferrous metals, particularly bronze alloys, making the lubricant suitable for gearbox designs containing components manufactured from different metallic materials.

Water separation:
Excellent demulsifying properties promote effective separation of water from the lubricant. This is particularly important in industrial gearbox systems exposed to moisture, as efficient water separation helps maintain the required lubricant properties and supports reliable operation of reduction gears.

Storage and handling:
The product should be stored in its original, tightly closed container and protected against contamination and moisture. When selecting the lubricant, the requirements of the gearbox or reduction gear manufacturer should always be followed, particularly with regard to the required ISO VG viscosity grade and lubricant performance classification.
