Spindle Oil (SB1)
Podlee spindle oil is a specialized lubricant designed to reduce friction, heat, and wear in high-speed rotating machinery components, particularly spindles. These slender shafts are critical in applications such as lathes, milling machines, textile equipment, and precision instruments, where smooth, efficient operation is essential. By minimizing resistance and dissipating heat, spindle oil ensures longevity and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Application
Spindle oil is vital in industries requiring precision and speed, including manufacturing (CNC machines, grinders), textiles (spinning frames), and automotive systems (precision bearings). It is also used in low-speed, high-precision scenarios where minimal viscosity is crucial.
Advantages
Excellent lubricity and anti-wear properties, reducing wear and friction, and extending bearing service life.
Superior oxidation stability, prolonging oil change intervals.
Effective rust and corrosion protection for both steel and non-ferrous metals.
Good low-temperature fluidity and anti-foaming performance.
