Slideway Lubricants

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information on Castrol's range of slideway lubricants, designed for machine tools that rely on sliding ways for precision and accuracy. These lubricants are formulated to prevent stick-slip, carry high loads, and are compatible with water-based metalworking fluids.

Castrol Magna Range: This range includes Magna GC, Magna BD, and Magna CF, which are mineral oil-based lubricants. They offer good lubricity, high load carrying capacity, and compatibility with cutting fluids. Specific products like Magna GC 32 can be used as both hydraulic and slideway lubricants, while Magna BD 68 and CF 220 are recommended for horizontal and heavily loaded vertical slides, respectively.

Castrol Magnaglide D Range: These lubricants are formulated to enhance performance with excellent stick-slip qualities. They are suitable for machine tools requiring slow-moving operations and prevent lubricant squeeze-out. Magnaglide D 32, D 68, and D 220 meet various Cincinnati Lamb specifications for different slideway orientations.

Castrol Tribol MWO LS Range: This range uses a proprietary blend of anti-wear and extreme pressure agents to eliminate stick-slip and chatter. It is suitable for machine tool slides and other applications like chains and bearings. The additives are fully dissolved, making them suitable where solid lubricants are restricted.

Castrol Tribol 1066 Range: These high-performance lubricants are formulated to resist the cleansing action of coolants, minimizing wear and maintaining smooth motion. They offer outstanding demulsification properties, excellent lubricity, and advanced corrosion protection.

Performance Testing: The document includes test results from Darmstadt, showing the coefficient of friction for various products under static and dynamic conditions, highlighting the superior performance of Castrol products.

Conclusion: Castrol's slideway lubricants are designed to prolong way life, extend maintenance intervals, boost productivity, and reduce costs. They are backed by extensive research and collaboration with machine tool manufacturers, ensuring reliability and quality.
