Way Lubricant

Can include:

• Machine tool slideways and guides:
  • Combined slideway/machine tool hydraulic systems like those in lathes, planers, shapers, drilling and tapping machines, etc.,
  • Some Horizontal slideways requiring lighter VG 32 oils
• Other industrial applications requiring an adhesive, corrosion inhibited lubricant with EP properties
  

Smooth, chatter-free, accurate operation

Special friction modifier provides high lubricity to reduce friction and drag which can cause stick-slip and machine tool chatter, adversely affecting surface finish on machined pieces. Tackiness additive provides a high strength, thick oil film that enables accurate table positioning.

Protects metal surfaces

EP additive system produces a protective film under heavily loaded conditions to prevent wear and scoring of slideways and guides. Rust and corrosion inhibitor protects machine components.

Stays in place

Special tackiness agent prevents fluid from draining away from lubricated surfaces, particularly on vertical ways. Tackiness and high film strength minimizes squeeze-out of the lubricant on heavily loaded ways, and prevents fluid wash out by emulsifiable cutting fluids.

Enhances coolant bath life

Excellent demulsibility and coolant separability properties enable rapid separation of the way oil from the coolant reducing the tendency of bacteria growth from oil contamination.

Combined hydraulic/slideway application

Lubricant inventory is reduced where an ISO 32 grade is required for use as way lubricant and machine tool hydraulic oil.

Meets the requirements for:

• Cincinnati Machine Specification P-53 Combination Hydraulic and Way Oil
• Cincinnati Machine Stick-Slip Procedure
