Which Oil Should Be Used For Machining Center Guide Rail Oil

[Star Keith]

first, the guide rail oil of the machining center shall be selected with excellent low friction, which can reduce the vibration caused by crawling of the plastic coated guide rail; 2. It has high oxidation stability and can be used at high temperature to prolong the service life of oil products; 3. High viscosity index, low viscosity when the machine tool is started, and can still maintain appropriate viscosity at high working temperature to reduce oil leakage; 4. The separation performance with cutting fluid such as emulsion is strengthened to prevent being washed away by emulsion; 5. Prevent the processed workpiece from being contaminated; 6. Excellent anti-wear performance, etc
II. Automobile oil can replace guide rail oil, but guide rail oil cannot be used as automobile oil. Automobile oil has several important additives that ordinary lubricating oil does not have, such as heat resistance, oxidation resistance, cleaning, dispersion, flow, etc. Moreover, automobile oil is multi-level, such as 10w-40, which can ensure the lubrication performance at minus 25 degrees, while machine tool guide rail lubricating oil is usually single-level, such as 40 and 68, If ordinary lubricating oil is added to motor vehicles, the engine will be scrapped for tens of kilometers
III. lubricating oil is actually a highly targeted service industry

for different equipment, different environments correspond to different oil products. Guide rail oil milling operation should be used for lubrication. Their molecules are different, and their viscosity is generally high in the hot weather in the south
IV. recommendation: use 68#

special guide rail oil for machining center, and generally use 32# or 46#

in the north. Please refer to the product description of the machine tool for details, but never use hydraulic oil. Don't lose money for small reasons.
