Description
Castrol Magna SW DX 68 is specially formulated for the lubrication of slideways on machine tools (ISO VG 68). It is based on a powerful extreme pressure and lubricity additive package in highly refined mineral oil offering constant glide behaviour, excellent adhesion and wear protection as well as excellent corrosion protection and ageing resistance.
- Volume: 20l canister
- Also available as: 208l barrel
Specifications / Approvals
- DIN 51 517-3 (CLP)
- DIN 51524-2 (HLP)
- DIN 51502 (CGLP)
- ISO 6743-13 (ISO-L-G)
Application
- The Magna SW DX range of products is designed to be used on all horizontal and vertical slideways where a high quality demulsifying lubricant is required for slideway protection and to maximize coolant life.
- Magna SW DX slideway oils are noted for their usual ability to overcome the stick-slip motion ordinarily associated with slow moving tool parts. They reduce machine tool carriage chatter and possess the necessary adhesive characteristics to prevent squeezing out of the lubricant.
- Magna SW DX covers the exacting demands in the following applications: planers, grinders, horizontal boring machines, shapers, jig borers, and milling machines. It is especially suitable for plastic coated guideways. Possible swelling of the plastics won’t occur like it can with the use of conventional, non-demulsifying slideway oils.
Advantages
- Excellent demulsifying and adhesive properties help preventing mixing with water miscible cutting fluids and also minimise extrusion and/or washing off of the lubricating film during use with water miscible cutting fluids. This avoids downtime and expensive slideway repair or replacement
- Exceptional frictional characteristics prevents stick-slip even with high loads, providing high tool slide working accuracy and repeatable machining so that high quality surface finish and tolerances are maintained at low rejection rate levels.
- Reliable metal protection against staining and corrosion keeps oil-wetted surfaces remain in good condition
- Very good filtration property keeps filters in oil supply unblocked
