Product Information

Full details

The ROCOL Ultraglide Slideway Spray Lubricant 400ml is designed for machine tools lacking automatic lubrication systems, offering robust protection and reducing wear. Its highly tenacious, water-resistant film ensures long-lasting lubrication and corrosion protection, even in demanding environments. A key benefit is its ability to prevent 'stick-slip' motion for smoother operation, though users should ensure proper ventilation during application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of machinery is this lubricant suitable for?

This lubricant is ideal for machine tools that do not have automatic lubrication systems. It is designed for slideways and moving contact surfaces.

How does this lubricant prevent 'stick-slip'?

The 'stick-slip' phenomenon occurs when static friction is overcome by kinetic friction, causing jerky movement. Ultraglide provides a consistent lubricating film that reduces the difference between these friction points, ensuring smoother operation.

Is this lubricant resistant to water?

Yes, the ROCOL Ultraglide features a highly tenacious film that is resistant to water wash-off, providing protection even in damp environments.

How often should I reapply the lubricant?

The frequency of reapplication depends on the usage intensity and environmental conditions. For optimal performance and protection, inspect the slideways regularly and reapply as needed, typically when the lubricating film appears diminished or wear is observed.

What is the volume of the container?

The ROCOL Ultraglide Slideway Spray Lubricant comes in a 400ml aerosol container.

Can this lubricant be used on gears?

This product is specifically formulated for slideways. For gears, it is recommended to use a lubricant designed for gear applications.

What safety precautions should I take when using this product?

Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing spray mist. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or nozzle blockage

Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly before use. After application, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, use a fine wire or pin to carefully clean the nozzle, or replace the can.

Lubricant washes off easily

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. The 'highly tenacious film' should resist wash-off, but severe conditions might require more frequent application.

Continued 'stick-slip' phenomenon

Verify that a sufficient and even coat of lubricant has been applied. Check for any underlying mechanical issues with the slideways that might be contributing to the problem. Reapply lubricant after cleaning the surfaces.

Product doesn't adhere to surface

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure the slideways are clean, dry, and free from any residual grease, oil, or debris. Reapply after thorough cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent long-term lubrication.
  • Offers strong resistance to water wash-off.
  • Protects against corrosion and reduces wear.
  • Smooths out machine tool movement by preventing 'stick-slip'.
  • Easy and convenient application via aerosol.

Cons

  • Requires proper ventilation during use.
  • Not suitable for automatic lubrication systems.
  • Application may require periodic reapplication depending on usage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be treated are clean, dry, and free from existing contaminants like dirt, grease, or old lubricants. Degrease if necessary.
  2. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute before use.
  3. Hold the can approximately 15-30cm (6-12 inches) from the surface.
  4. Apply a thin, even coat to the slideways or contact areas.
  5. Allow the spray to dry for a short period before operating the machinery. Refer to product specifics for drying times if available.

Compatibility:

This lubricant is specifically designed for slideways and machine tool components. It is suitable for use on manual or semi-automatic machines where direct application is feasible. It is not intended for use in fully automated central lubrication systems.

Care:

Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
