About Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2

The Mobil Vactra Oil Numbered Series are premium-quality slideway lubricants specifically designed to meet the requirements for accuracy, aqueous coolant separability, and equipment protection of precision machine tools. The Mobil Vactra Oil Numbered Series are carefully formulated from high-quality base stocks and performance balanced with an advanced additive system that provides controlled frictional properties, outstanding aqueous metal working fluid compatibility and corrosion protection of parts and equipment. The unique additive package provides exceptional frictional properties on a wide variety of way materials, including steel on steel and steel on polymer, reducing stick-slip and chatter. The Mobil Vactra Oil Numbered Series have been optimized to provide excellent separability from aqueous coolants while minimizing the corrosive effects of high pH coolants on lubricated surfaces.

Advantages and Potential Benefits:

• Exceptional frictional characteristics helps eliminate stick slip and allows consistently accurate machining
• Multi-material capabilities allows for product consolidation
• Excellent separability helps improve the life and performance of aqueous coolants
• Adhesiveness prevents removal of lubricant from critical surfaces
• Long term rust and corrosion protection helps reduce the deterioration of sliding surfaces in the presence of water and aqueous coolants
• Hydraulic and gear capabilities allows for product consolidation

Applications:

• Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2: Horizontal slideways on small to medium size machine tools; also suitable for circulating application in large machines and as moderate duty hydraulic fluids
• Mobil Vactra Oil No. 4: Large machines where way pressures are high or good precision is required as well as vertical and inclined slideways where drain-down can be a problem and for moderate service machine tool gear drive mechanisms
• Ball screws, linear guides, headstocks, translating screws
• Applications where conventional mineral oil contamination of the aqueous coolants shortens coolant batch life

About Mobil Vacuoline 1405

Mobil Vacuoline 1405 is an extra high performance lubricant designed for machine tools that use one oil for both hydraulic systems and way lubrication. It is formulated with high quality mineral base oils and a unique additive technology that provides excellent lubricity properties to eliminate stick-slip and chatter of heavily loaded and vertical box ways. This product meets the low frictional properties required to assure acceptable production levels of quality parts with minimum downtime in today’s high output machine tools.

Advantages and Potential Benefits:

1. Improved surface finish and dimensional accuracy reduce formation of built-up edge to increase quality of finished materials
2. Excellent protection against rust, wear and corrosion reduces maintenance costs
3. Minimal chatter and stick-slip of slides and ways
4. Enhanced aqueous coolant service life and performance

Applications:

1.  Machine tools with a common system for hydraulics and way lubrication
2.  Applications where cross-contamination of way lube with hydraulic oil can result in poor performance
3. Machinery with separate systems for ways and hydraulics where one oil is desirable for both systems 
4. Areas where conventional mineral based lubricants are not adequately protecting way surfaces
