Slideway Oils:
Ensuring Precision and Smooth Machine Operations

AW slideway and hydraulic oils minimize friction and wear in machine tools, maintain accurate positioning, and reduce vibration. With strong adhesion and anti-wear, oxidation, and rust protection, they ensure reliable lubrication under high loads and extend system life across applications.

Key Benefits of Slideway Oils

Prevention of Stick-Slip Motion: Slideway oils contain friction modifiers that eliminate stick-slip movement, ensuring precise and smooth operation of machine tool slideways.

 Superior Wear Protection: Enhanced anti-wear additives protect machine surfaces from metal-to-metal contact, reducing component wear and extending equipment life.

 Excellent Adhesion and Lubrication: These oils have excellent adhesion properties, ensuring a uniform lubricant film that stays in place, even in vertically oriented slideways.

Corrosion and Rust Resistance: Slideway oils contain corrosion inhibitors that prevent rust formation, protecting machine components from moisture and contaminants.

Compatibility with Cutting Fluids: Formulated to be compatible with water-based coolants, these oils reduce the risk of emulsification and maintain optimal lubrication.

Applications of Slideway Oils

Slideway oils are widely used in industrial machining and metalworking applications, including:

CNC Machines: Ensures accurate and repeatable movements for high-precision machining.

Grinding Machines: Reduces friction and enhances smooth table movement.

 Lathes and Milling Machines: Prevents jerky movements and improves cutting accuracy.

 Injection Molding Machines: Provides reliable lubrication for mold sliding mechanisms.

Industrial Automation: Used in various automated machinery requiring controlled sliding movements.

Choosing the Right Slideway Oil

Selecting the correct slideway oil depends on several factors, including:

Viscosity Grade: Common grades include ISO VG 32, 46, and 68, with higher viscosities suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Machine Load & Speed: Heavy-duty applications require high-viscosity oils, while low-viscosity grades are suitable for light-load operations.

Compatibility with Coolants: Ensuring the oil does not emulsify with water-based cutting fluids.

Best Practices for Slideway Oil Maintenance

To maximize the performance of slideway oils, follow these maintenance tips:

Regular Lubrication Checks: Ensure proper oil levels and reapply lubricant as needed.

Periodic Cleaning: Remove contaminants and old lubricants to maintain a clean surface.

Monitor Oil Condition: Regularly inspect oil quality to detect signs of degradation or contamination.

Use Manufacturer-Recommended Oil: Following OEM recommendations ensures optimal machine performance.
