Petroleum-based machine tool oils

June 3, 2016 By Mike Santora

lubriplate-machine-tool-oil-post-collageThe Lubriplate No. 0 is a light 5W type of oil for extremely high-speed applications (up to 25,000 rpm) such as spindle lubrication and grinder arbor bearings. It also makes a suitable lamination oil for progressive stamping operations.

No. 1 is a light 10W type of oil for textile spindles, grinder arbors and other types of bearings operating at high speeds. A cold test makes this a suitable extreme low-temperature hydraulic fluid.

No. 2 is a 20 weight type oil for light general oil applications. Suitable for ring oiled bearings, wick feeds, bottle and airline oilers, oil cups, light circulating systems, enclosed chains, etc.

No. 3 is a 30 weight oil for similar applications as No. 3-V, shown below, where a grade heavier oil is required. Also a suitable choice wherever a combination way lubricant and an 80 gear oil are recommended. Contains tackiness additive.

No. 3-V is a 20 weight oil specially designed for combination machine tool way lubrication and bearing lubrication. A good choice for ring oiled bearings, oil cups, circulating systems and Servo Controlled Machine Tools. Meets the majority of machine tool manufacturers’ recommendations for general machine oil type lubrication. Contains a tackiness additive.
