 MACHINE TOOLS AND SLIDEWAYS

Slideway oils are essential for the quality

of the work pieces produced

 Slideway oils help to increase machining

accuracy, which means:
 Cost savings (less scrap)
 Increase in productivity (right first time, less
re-work)

 Slideway oils help to prevent « chatter » Did you know that …

and « stick-slip » by reducing the frictional
resistance of sliding surfaces.
Tests have shown that differences
up to 300% in friction
coefficent can be experienced in
identical slideways when using
different slideway oils

 LUBRICATION OF SLIDEWAYS

Slideways are exposed to water-soluble cooling

lubricants

« Cleaning » of the guide surface

Risk of corrosion

The water miscible fluids can mix with the slideway oils with
detrimental effects on both fluids

Contamination of coolants
Development of bacteria and fungi Slideway oils can turn into emulsion

Coolant life shortened Possible formation of sticky residues

H&S issues (odour, skin irritation) and gum on the slideway
