Castrol Hyspin VSH™
Mineral Hydraulic OIl
Castrol Hyspin™ VSH 3000 is a sophisticated mineral hydraulic oil incorporating the latest technology in antiwear chemistry to impart improved resistance against premature wear.
The main feature of Hyspin VSH 3000 is the extreme shear stability of the viscosity index improver. This particular additive has proven its shear stability through extensive research and development work complemented by arduous field tests.
Applications
Hyspin VSH 3000 can be used:
- Where very rapid speed of hydraulic response is imperative for production cycles at low start-up temperatures.
- Plant and equipment operating in extremely high ambient operating temperatures.
The main applications for mineral hydraulic oils are:
- Farm machinery • Tractors
- Earthmoving equipment
- Fork lift trucks
- Machine tools
- Injection moulders
- Hydraulic presses
- Lifts, etc
Advantages
- Multigrade characteristics – rapid startup, high viscosity at working temperature. Equipment operates efficiently and effectively at all operating temperatures. •
- Incorporates highly shear stable Viscosity Index improver – maintains fluid viscosity under severe operating conditions. Fluid performs as required throughout its service life.
- Incorporates latest anti-wear additive technology – minimizes equipment wear. Reduced replacement costs and down time.
Manufacturers recommendations
- Recommendations are for petroleum-based oil hydraulic fluids containing anti-wear additives. Hyspin VSH 3000 meets this requirement. The manufacturer’s handbook should be consulted to obtain the viscosity range at the respective operating temperatures, together with a maximum viscosity at start-up. For piston pumps, non antiwear oil (such as Hyspin VG series) are preferred.
- For hydraulic systems powered by Lucas Hydrostatic Transmission Pumps and fitted with silver plate bearing surfaces, certain precautions must be taken when selecting a hydraulic fluid. Castrol Magna LU is designed for use in Lucas pumps as the anti-wear additives included in Hyspin VSH 3000 will be deleterious to silver components.
- With later model pumps, without the silver bearing surfaces, Hyspin VSH 3000 hydraulic oil is satisfactory.
