Semi-Synthetic WL SERIES Slideway, Chain
and Gear Lube
Product
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.

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.
