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 Oil is 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 Series is 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 Series on yellow
metal or worm gear applications operating at or above 200
°F.
