What are the Properties of Sled Oil?

Sled Oil Analysis: Performance and Equipment Protection

Sled Oil

Used for lubrication of horizontal and vertical slide ways of planing, grinding, milling, lathe and CNC machines. It is specially produced to ensure the highest efficiency at low speeds and under heavy load. Especially in machine tools, it prevents the slides that remain motionless from sticking to each other and slipping in case of sudden movement.

Slideway lubricants are important to ensure the efficient operation of industrial equipment, both increasing performance and extending machine life. In addition to their lubricating properties, slideway oils also perform wear protection, cooling and sealing functions. These lubricants are used in various industrial fields, especially in machines that carry heavy loads and require high precision. They are special types of lubricants that require regular analysis and maintenance and are of great importance for machine performance and safety.

Features

  • Rust prevention feature
  • Anti-abrasion feature
  • They act as a whole with coolants, preventing metal contact
  • Reduces vibration on benches


Importance of Sled Oil Analysis

Regular analysis of slideway lubricants is a major requirement to improve machine performance and prevent potential failures. Skid oils ensure the smooth functioning of mechanical movements and prevent adverse conditions such as wear and corrosion. Oil analysis prevents these oils from degrading and losing their properties over time, extending the life of the equipment and reducing operational costs.

  1. Equipment Protection: The oil's content of abrasive particles, water and oxidation products is checked.
  2. Machine Efficiency: Proper lubrication improves energy efficiency by reducing friction.
  3. Cost Savings: Breakdowns and maintenance costs due to inadequate lubrication or dirty lubricants are avoided.
  4. Environmental Sustainability: The oil is recycled or disposed of properly.
