Description
Castrol Magna™ SW DX Range is specially formulated for the lubrication of slideways on machine tools. It is based on
a powerful extreme pressure and lubricity additive package in highly refined mineral oil offering constant glide
behaviour, excellent adhesion and wear protection as well as excellent corrosion protection and ageing resistance.
Application
The Magna SW DX range of products is designed to be used on all horizontal and vertical slideways where a high quality
demulsifying lubricant is required for slideway protection and to maximize coolant life.
Magna SW DX slideway oils are noted for their usual ability to overcome the stick-slip motion ordinarily associated with
slow moving tool parts. They reduce machine tool carriage chatter and possess the necessary adhesive characteristics
to prevent squeezing out of the lubricant.
Magna SW DX covers the exacting demands in the following applications: planers, grinders, horizontal boring machines,
shapers, jig borers, and milling machines.
It is especially suitable for plastic coated guideways. Possible swelling of the plastics won't occur like it can with the use
of conventional, non-demulsifying slideway oils.
The Magna SW DX range meets the requirements of:
- Cincinnati Lamb (Milacron) P-47, P-50 and P-53 (depending on viscosity grade)
- DIN 51 517-3, CLP
- DIN 51524-2, HLP
The Magna SW DX range is classifed as:
- CGLP according DIN 51502
- ISO-L-G according to ISO 6743-13
Advantages
Excellent demulsifying and adhesive properties help preventing mixing with water miscible cutting fluids and also
minimise extrusion and/or washing off of the lubricating film during use with water miscible cutting fluids. This
avoids downtime and expensive slideway repair or replacement
Exceptional frictional characteristics prevents stick-slip even with high loads, providing high tool slide working
accuracy and repeatable machining so that high quality surface finish and tolerances are maintained at low
rejection rate levels.
Reliable metal protection against staining and corrosion keeps oil-wetted surfaces remain in good condition
Very good filtration property keeps filters in oil supply unblocked
