Astra 32 Slideway Oil

Astra 32 Slideway Lubricant

Description:

Astra Slideway Lubricants have been specifically developed for the lubrication of machine tool slideways and tables. They are formulated from high quality mineral oil, performance additives and incorporate a tackifier to ensure that the lubricant adheres to the moving parts at all times. The performance additives provide outstanding resistance to oxidation, corrosion and wear whilst eliminating stick slip and judder that sometimes occurs in mechanically and hydraulically operated machine tools.

Astra Slideway Lubricants have outstanding cutting fluid compatibility and exceptional film strength that will prevent pickup and scoring on bearing surfaces under the most severe conditions, including intermittent use. These grades continue to perform even under the continual washing action of water based cutting fluids.

Features:

• Excellent oxidation and corrosion protection |
• Excellent adhesion properties even under difficult conditions |
• Eliminates stick slip and judder |
• Complete separation from all types of coolants and emulsions |
• Multifunctional performance – have hydraulic and gear oil performance |

Applications:

Astra Slideway Lubricants are recommended for slideways, tables, carriages, guides and all machining centre applications where a tacky extreme pressure lubricant is required. This range of oils may also be used for the lubrication of headstocks, cross feeds, saddles and gearboxes.

ASTRA 32 is highly recommended for certain machine tools with combined hydraulic and slideway lubrication systems.
