Description
AMSOIL Semi-Synthetic
WLJ 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
WLJ reduces friction for good overall performance.
Machine
Tool Slideways
AMSOIL formulated WLJ 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, WLJ is anti-rust
fortified and has 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 WLJ makes
it ideal for chain and gear applications. WLJ
is friction-reducing, compatible with seals
and paints and is 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 WLJ delivers
excellent performance in a wide variety of environments.
Performance
Features
- Tackified for
excellent adhesion and water resistance.
- Rust and corrosion
inhibited.
- EP additives
prevent stick/slip and slideway scoring.
- Semi-synthetic
adds lubricity and reduces friction.
- Recommended
for slideways, chains and EP gear applications.
Application
Recommendation
AMSOIL WLJ is 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 WLJ is 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.
NOTE: Do not use WLJ
on yellow metal or worm gear applications operating
at or above 200 °F.
