How To Select The Right Way Oil
The Right Way Oil - Protect The Slideway Effectively
Way oil, also known as slideway oil or machine tool way lubricant, is a specialized lubricating oil designed for the lubrication and protection of the sliding surfaces (ways) in machine tools and industrial equipment. These oils play a critical role in ensuring smooth and precise movement of machine components, reducing friction, wear, and preventing corrosion. Selecting the appropriate way oil is essential for maintaining machine accuracy and prolonging the lifespan of your equipment.
Way oil, also known as slide oil or machine tool way lubricant, is designed to provide superior lubrication to the slideways of machine tools. It minimizes friction, reduces wear, and contributes to precise movement, ensuring high-performance machining. They are commonly applied to Linear Guide and Box Way systems. When the heavy tooling of a machine tool slides along its supporting ways, a smooth, uninterrupted motion must be maintained. Without suitable lubrication, loss of precision and machine tool productivity can result.

The Way Lubricants For Box Way And Linear Way
Most operators choose slideway oil (industrial lubricant) by machine maker's advice or instruction which is correct. However, we still have to know the difference between linear guide and box way system before you purchase the industrial lubricants.
The box way is recognized as "Heavy-Duty" cutting, stability, less vibrations so that the slideway oil must have enough tackiness and lubricity additives to give smooth slideway movement under heavy loads. MORESCO HYDOL WAY 68X is a premium-quality slideway oil specifically designed for box way and linear guide systems that meet the requirements for accuracy, aqueous coolant separability, and equipment protection of precision machine tools.
The linear way is made for HSC (High-Speed Cutting), light-duty, higher precision. WILL Slideway Oil VG-68 is suited for the linear guide system which has superior quality and excellent metal surface adhesion that minimize stick-slip and chatter and promote the quality of processed products.
Why You Can't Substitute Hydraulic Oil For Slideway Oil
Slideway oil has high-pressure additives that make it adhere to surfaces so that it avoids chatter marks on the surface of the workpieces, a sufficiently well adhering lubricating film must also be present on the bed track/slideway, even with slow feeds and high surface pressures. On the other side, hydraulic oil is designed for all hydraulic systems which contain effective anti-wear additives and anti-foam additives to release entrained air rapidly. Hydraulic oil and slideway oil are totally different purposes for the machine. If sticking occurs, machining is inaccurate, and poor surface finish in the workpiece can result. In order to achieve optimum accuracy, please use the right oils. Not only protect your machine and reduce the damage but also extend the life of the machine at the same time.
