Way Oil

Way Oil or Way Lube – A Type of Hydraulic Oil

Way oil, or way lube, is a type of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oils can have additives mixed in, such as tackifiers, to make the way oil stick to surfaces. The tackifier additive in way oil is ideal for vertical machine parts such as slideway systems.

Friction in the machining process requires special attention. Slideways operate in a linear motion and under conditions of boundary lubrication, making them more susceptible to stick-slip. Without suitable lubrication, loss of precision and machine tool productivity can result.

Slideway oils, or way oils, add an extra layer of protection to machining equipment – aiding in the following:

  • Enhance Surface Finish
  • Improve Machining Accuracy
  • Machine Productivity
  • Reduce Deterioration of Sliding Surfaces
