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 wear and the corrosion inhibitors 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 carriages
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.
Note: Do not use the WL Oils on yellow metal or worm gear
applications operating at or above 220° F.
