Lubricoolants

In most cases, non water-miscible lubricants are used for the MQL. Lubricants on the basis of fatty alcohols and esters are quite common.

There are special mediums for MQL in order to obtain an optimum lubricating effect with small quantities applied. For the circulating lubrication, other requirements are placed on the mediums, [...]

Yes. We recommend different mediums for non-ferrous metals, unalloyed and high-alloyed steels. In case of a mixed processing, you have to base your selection on the most sophisticated material. [...]

You will find corresponding recommendations for the respective equipment in the “Technical data” and the overview “Characteristics and suitability”.

It depends on the device. For Spraymat almost no medium or even no medium could be delivered any more. For toolmat and Centermat, the internal lubrication could fail, as no small drops could be [...]

No. For the devices with pumps (for e.g., Lubrimat / Sawfix / Toolmat / Centermat / Pulsomat), air can get into the piston pump even if it is completely empty. It has to be deaerated only then [...]

A consumption of 20 – 50 ml per spray hour and tool is assumed for the MQL. Accordingly, the daily consumption per process depends on the effective spraying duration. The daily consumption per [...]

If an insufficient lubricant quantity is applied, the lubricating film can tear off and the MQL cannot provide optimal results which has an effect on the lifetime of the tools and the surface quality.

Adhering to the specified storage conditions, the Steidle products can be stored and used for at least 6 to 12 months, sometimes even 24 months. Lubrimax Edel C: 24 months. Lubrimax [...]

The lubricant Lubrimax Edel C contains additives with sulphide constituents. However, for compensation this medium contains non-ferrous metal inhibitors which reduce the reaction with the [...]
