Slideway Oil

Description

Prado’s hypothetical Slideway Oil would be a thin, adhesive lubricant ideal for precision machine tool surfaces ensuring smooth movement, high surface protection, and compatibility with coolant systems. If Prado does manufacture such a product, expect options like ISO 32, 68, or 150, perfect for CNC and manual machines.

🔧 Product Type

• Prado Slideway Oil (Precision Machine-Way Lubricant)
  While not explicitly listed, Prado—known for industrial-grade lubricants—likely offers a light, highly refined ISO‐rated oil (e.g., ISO VG 32, 68, or 150) designed to lubricate precision machine tool slideways and carriage surfaces.

🛡️ Key Benefits

1. Smooth, Chatter-Free Movement
   Engineered to prevent stick-slip and ensure smooth, jerk-free machine tool movement during low or slow sliding motion.

2. Wear & Corrosion Protection
   Forms a steady oil film to protect surfaces from wear, friction, rust, and galling, even under intermittent or light loading conditions.

3. Excellent Adhesion & Film Strength
   Formulations are designed to cling to vertical and horizontal surfaces maintaining lubrication where it’s needed most.

4. Oxidative Stability
   Resists breakdown, sludge formation, and viscosity changes even in warm or enclosed machinery environments.

🛠️ How to Choose & Use

• Select ISO Viscosity: Choose between ISO VG 32 for lighter loads or VG 68/150 for heavier equipment or slower feeds.

• Apply Frequently: Use a centralized lubrication system or periodic manual application to maintain a continuous lubricant film.

• Contamination Control: Use clean oil and regularly flush or filter slideway sumps to remove debris and prevent surface wear.
