TRUEGARD Way Lubes are premium lubricants engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern machine tool operations. These specialized oils are formulated using highly refined mineral oil bases, ensuring optimal purity and performance for industrial applications.

Key Features

·      Enhanced Tackiness: TRUEGARD Way Lubes incorporate advanced additives that improve oil adhesion, ensuring the lubricant remains in place even under heavy loads and extended operational periods.

·      Superior Anti-Wear Protection: The formulation provides robust protection against wear and tear, extending the service life of machine components and reducing maintenance costs.

·      Stick-Slip Control: Additives are included to minimize stick-slip phenomena, promoting smooth, precise movement of slides and tables and enhancing machining accuracy.

·      High Adherence: Specially recommended for applications requiring strong oil film retention, TRUEGARD Way Lubes deliver reliable lubrication where high adherence is essential.

Applications

TRUEGARD Way Lubes are ideally suited for the lubrication of machine tool slides, tables, and other critical surfaces where smooth, consistent motion and superior protection are required. Their unique combination of tackiness, anti-wear, and stick-slip control makes them an excellent choice for both manual and automated machinery in manufacturing, metalworking, and precision engineering environments.

 

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • ISO VG 220 is a relatively high viscosity grade, making it well suited for heavier-load slideways and slower-moving machine tool surfaces where a thicker oil film is needed to maintain adequate separation between metal surfaces. You should consult your machine tool manufacturer's specifications to confirm the recommended grade, as lighter-duty or higher-speed applications may call for a lower-viscosity way lube.

  • Stick-slip is the jerky, uneven motion that occurs when a slide or table alternately grips and releases instead of moving smoothly. TRUEGARD Waylube 220 includes dedicated additives to minimize this behavior, which directly improves positional accuracy and surface finish quality during machining operations.

  • It is engineered specifically for machine tool slides, tables, and other precision sliding contact surfaces in manufacturing, metalworking, and precision engineering environments. It is suitable for both manual and automated machinery where smooth, consistent motion and strong oil film retention are required.

  • Standard machine oils lack the tackiness additives and stick-slip friction modifiers that are built into way lubes. Without these, a general-purpose oil can drain off vertical or inclined surfaces under load and fail to prevent the jerky slide movement that compromises machining precision. TRUEGARD Waylube 220 is specifically formulated to address these demands.

  • TRUEGARD Way Lubes are noted as suitable for both manual and automated machinery. That said, you should verify with your lubrication system manufacturer that the equipment can handle VG 220 viscosity and that the tackiness additives in the oil are compatible with your pump and dispensing components.

  • Highly refined mineral oil bases contain fewer impurities compared to conventional base stocks, which reduces the risk of varnish, deposit build-up, and accelerated wear on machine components. This contributes to longer component service life and lower maintenance costs over time.
