Spindle Oils

Spindle oil

Spindle oils are a type of low-viscosity mineral oil marketed for use in lubrication of high-speed machine spindles. ... Since the viscosity is so low that the oil runs off the surface of the spindle during shut-down periods, the spindle oil may be doped with additives that prevent rusting. Straight Oils, also referred to as neat oils, are petroleum or vegetable based oils that do not contain water. They are used as is or “straight” without being diluted. Straight oils are used in metalworking applications where lubricity is more critical than heat reduction.



Application areas:

These oils are recommended for lubrication of textile and machine tools, spindle bearings, timing gears, centrifugal separators, positive displacement blowers and hydraulic systems of certain high precision machine tools.

Performance benefits:

  • Good oil film strength
  • Good demulsibility
  • High chemical stability
  • Lower fluid friction
  • Resistance to rusting and corrosion

Special Features

SPINTEK grades of oils are premium quality lubricating oils recommended for the lubrication of high speed spindles. They are manufactured from highly refined base oils possessing excellent chemical & oxidation stability. They are further fortified with carefully selected oxidation and rust inhibitors. The rust inhibitor protects bearing surface from rusting and corrosion even in the presence of moisture. A special antiwear additive improves oiliness and reduces friction and wear between the rubbing surfaces to an absolute minimum.
