Manufacturer's description

Shell Tonna S3 M is specially designed for lubricating machine-tool slideways and ways, tables and feed mechanisms. Improved adhesion and stick-slip characteristics combine to deliver superior frictional performance for slideways. They are particularly recommended where low-speed, high-precision machines are used, as well as in combined lubrication systems.

Applications

• Machine-tool slideways, tables and feed mechanisms
• Developed for use on a wide range of machine-tool slideway surface materials, including cast iron and synthetic materials.
• Machine-tool hydraulic systemsParticularly recommended for machine tools that have a combined system for the hydraulics and slideways.
• Machine-tool gearboxes and spindlesAlso suitable for lubricating pinions and the front crossbeam. The lower viscosity grades are intended for lubricating horizontal slideways (Shell Tonna S3 M 32 or 68). For vertical slideways, use Shell Tonna S3 M 220.
• Developed for use on a wide range of machine-tool slideway surface materials, including cast iron and synthetic materials

Performance & benefits

• Excellent frictional propertiesSpecially developed to overcome the problems caused by "stick-slip" on slow-moving machine tools and tables, allowing more accurate positioning. This delivers benefits in improved surface finish quality and dimensional accuracy of workpieces.
• Advanced technologyDeveloped in collaboration with machine tool manufacturers to meet the more advanced requirements of machine tools using a wide variety of slideway materials.
• Good adhesion to slideway surfacesEnsures very good adhesion to slideway surfaces, resisting wash-off caused by the action of metalworking fluids and thereby reducing oil consumption and maintaining uniform working conditions for machine tools.
• Rapid separation from water-miscible cutting fluidsRapid separation from water-miscible metalworking fluids allows easy removal by skimming.
• Excellent anti-wear performanceProvides high levels of anti-wear protection for slideways, gears, bearings and hydraulic system components, making these products particularly suitable for machines with combined systems.
• Excellent corrosion prevention characteristicsProvides effective corrosion protection for both components and machine-tool surfaces in the presence of water-miscible metalworking fluids.

Standards & approvals

• Fives Cincinnati P-50 (IS0 220)

  Fives Cincinnati P-50 — ISO VG 220 slideway oil

  An approval number from the Fives Cincinnati list of fluids for use in its own machine tools. It covers slideway oils, additised so the slide moves without stick-slip and is not washed off by the coolant.

• Fives Cincinnati P-47

  Fives Cincinnati P-47 — ISO VG 68 slideway oil

  An approval number from the Fives Cincinnati list of fluids for use in its own machine tools. It covers slideway oils, additised so the slide moves without stick-slip and is not washed off by the coolant.

• ISO 11158 / ISO 6743-4 HG

  Hydraulic oil, type H / ISO 6743-4 HG — ISO 11158

  Class HG: an oil that serves both the hydraulics and the slideways of a machine tool, carrying friction modifiers that prevent stick-slip.

• ISO 12925-1 / ISO 6743-6 CKC

  Industrial gear lubricant / ISO 6743-6 CKC — ISO 12925

  The international standard for enclosed gear drive lubricants; class CKC is the mineral oil with antioxidant, anticorrosion and antiwear additives, for moderate duty.

• ISO 19378 / ISO 6743-13 GA si GB

  ISO 19378 / ISO 6743-13 types GA and GB — slideway oils

  The requirement standard for machine tool slideway oils, together with classes GA (horizontal slideways) and GB (vertical) of the ISO classification.
