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 rust. The semi-synthetic nature of the WL Oils delivers excellent performance
in a wide variety of environments. Performance
Features -

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 carraiges 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.
Chain and Gear Lubrication:
Do not
use the WL Oils on yellow metal or worm gear applications operating at or above
200 °F. AMSOIL
