Product Description
AMSOIL Semi-Synthetic WL Series is a high-quality,
heavy duty lubricant composed of synthetic base oils, large molecule
petroleum base oils and additives specifically designed for EP applications
found in gear, chain and machine tool applications. This combination
of base oils and EP additives provides the excellent lubricity and film
strength needed to prevent scoring and wear during equipment operations.
By incorporating synthetic base oils, AMSOIL WL Oils reduce friction
for good overall performance.
Machine Tool Slideways
AMSOIL formulated the WL Series with additives designed to prevent the
stick/slip or chatter phenomena that commonly occur at the beginning
and end of a machine tool stroke. This happens because the lubricant
and additives are squeezed out during boundary lubrication conditions.
Metal to metal contact then occurs, also causing wear to the slideways.
AMSOIL uses EP additives that form a hard boundary layer of protection
and tackifying agents that improve the adhesion properties of the oil.
These additives prevent stick/slip and wear. Additionally, the WL Oils
are anti-rust fortified and have excellent resistance to water washout.
This is important since emulsified cutting fluids are commonly used
and components are generally exposed to the environment.
Chain and Gear
Lubrication
The performance characteristics of the WL Series make them ideal for
chain and gear applications. These oils are friction-reducing, compatible
with seals and paints and are resistant to water. The tackifier agents
used ensure the components have constant lubrication, allowing the EP
additives to prevent rust. The semi-synthetic nature of the WL Oils
delivers excellent performance in a wide variety of environments.
Performance Features
-
Tackified for excellent adhesion and
water resistance.
-
Rust and corrosion inhibited.
-
EP additives prevent stick/slip and
slideway scoring
-
Semi-synthetic adds lubricity and reduces
friction.
-
Recommended for slideways, chains and
EP gear applications.
Application Recommendation
AMSOIL WL Series Oils are recommended for use on machine tools where
mating surfaces operate under heavy loads and slow speeds. Some applications
include the plain bearing slideways of lathes, shapers, grinders and
milling machines plus the slideways of saws and carraiges found in lumber
mills. AMSOIL WL Oils are recommended for use on open or enclosed chain
drives and in EP gear box applications where tackified EP gear oils
are recommended or where they do not pose a problem.
Chain and Gear
Lubrication:
Do not use the WL Oils on yellow metal
or worm gear applications operating at or above 200 °F.
