Shell Tonna S3 M 68

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 Main Applications

+ Machine tool slideways, tables and feed mechanisms

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 developed for use on a wide range of materials used for machine tool slideway surfaces, including cast iron and synthetic materials.

+ Machine tool hydraulic systems

Particularly recommended for machines which have a ·combined hydraulic and slideway lubrication system.

+ Machine tool gearboxes and spindles

Also suitable for gear and headstock lubrication. The lower viscosity grades are intended for horizontal slide lubrication (Shell Tonna S3 M 32 or 68). For vertical slides use Shell Tonna S3 M 220.

Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Tonna S3 M 68

+ Excellent frictional properties

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 specially developed to overcome “stick-slip” problems with slow-moving machine tool slides and tables, allowing more accurate positioning. This provides benefits of improved finished surface quality and dimensional accuracy of workpieces.

+ Advanced technology

Developed in conjunction with machine tool manufacturers to meet the requirements of the most advanced machine ·tools using a wide variety of slideway materials.

+ Good slideway adhesion

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 provides strong adhesion to slideway surfaces, resisting wash-off by metalworking fluids and those reducing oil consumption and giving a more uniform working condition for the machine.

+ Ready separation from water-miscible cutting fluids

Separates readily from water-miscible metalworking fluids ·allowing easy removal by skimming.

+ Excellent anti-wear performance

Shell Tonna S3 M 68 provides high levels of anti-wear protection for slideways, gears, bearings and hydraulic system components making the product particularly suitable for machines with combined systems.

+ Excellent corrosion prevention characteristics

Provides effective protection of machine tool surfaces and components in the presence of water-miscible cutting fluids.
