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.
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.
