Slideway Oils

The smooth and precise movement of machine tool slides and tables is essential for achieving high-quality workpieces. Slideway oils play a critical role in this, ensuring jerk-free operation, preventing stick-slip, and protecting guide surfaces from wear.

During machining, even small irregularities or vibrations can affect surface finish and dimensional accuracy. A properly formulated slideway oil forms a consistent lubricating film between the slide and the guide, allowing smooth, controlled movement—even under high pressure or slow feed rates. This film reduces friction, minimizes chatter, and prolongs the life of your machine components.

Stick-slip occurs when the friction between contacting surfaces alternates between sticking and slipping, creating vibration and uneven motion. In slides and linear guides, this can affect accuracy and surface quality. Special slideway oils, enhanced with advanced additives, reduce friction peaks and help maintain a continuous lubricating layer, ensuring smooth, precise motion every time.

• Smooth, jerk-free movement
• Prevention of stick-slip
• Reduced wear and longer service life
• High performance under high load and slow feed conditions
