Miles QS Way Lube Way and Slide Lubricants Product Description
The QS Way Lube Oils are premium-quality lubricants blended from
highly refined base stocks. They have been fortified with
advanced additives to impart excellent lubricity and extreme
pressure properties. QS Way Lubes exhibit high film strength
which allows build-up of a thick oil film that enables accurate
table positioning and prevents wear of system components. This
allows smooth, uniform motion at design travel speeds. The QS Way
Lube Oils are optimized to provide sustained fast separating from
aqueous coolants. Features and Benefits QS Way Lube Oils have
been developed and specifically designed to provide an extra
margin of machinery protection by satisfying the stringent
demands of the slide ways while meeting the requirements of the
other lubricated components of the machine tools. They exhibit
excellent lubricity and load-carrying performance contributing
significantly to improving the production of quality parts. Their
outstanding oxidation and thermal stability characteristics
improve machine cleanliness, provide desirable filterability
properties and reduce the need for frequent maintenance services.
The QS Way Lube Oils provide excellent separability from water
and aqueous coolants reducing the potential negative effects of
cross contamination enhancing the service life and performance of
both the lubricant and the coolants. Features Advantages and
Potential Benefits Low Frictional Characteristics Helps eliminate
chatter and stick-slip, Improves finish and accuracy of parts,
Lubricity Reduces wear Adhesiveness Prevents removal of lubricant
from critical surfaces Protects surfaces from attack of high pH
coolants Water and Aqueous Separability Extends lubricant life
and performance, Improves aqueous coolant life Oxidation/
Stability Extends oil service life Keeps sliding surfaces and
other lubricated components clean Helps reduce filter change
frequencies Rust and Corrosion Protection Helps reduce the
deterioration of sliding services and associated maintenance
Improves the quality and productive capacity of finished parts
Multi-Metal Compatibility Works with ferrous and non-ferrous
materials Applications QS Way Lube Oils are recommended both as
slideway lubricants and as fluids for moderate service machine
tool hydraulic systems. These oils are designed for use with all
combinations of cast iron, steel and non-metallic way materials.
Their extreme pressure properties make them suitable for all
types of gears found in machine tools. They should not be used in
circulation systems where bulk oil temperatures exceed 160ºF. QS
Way Lube Lt is recommended for horizontal slideways on small to
medium size machine tools. It is also suitable for flood
application in large machines. QS Way Lube Hvy is the normal
recommendation for severe applications and machines with vertical
slideways. QS Way Lube Oils can be used for lubrication of
ballscrews, linear guides, headstocks, translating screws, spur
and bevel gears, and lightly loaded worm gears Specifications and

is manufactured from high quality petroleum base stocks,
carefully blended with selected additives. As with all petroleum
products, good personal hygiene and careful handling should
always be practiced. Avoid prolonged contact to skin, splashing
into the eyes, ingestion or vapor inhalation. Please refer to our
Imperial Oil Material Safety Data Sheet for further information.
