Customer FAQ
What is stick-slip?
Stick-slip is irregular movement caused by friction variation, affecting accuracy and surface finish.
Why is coolant compatibility important?
Oil contamination can affect coolant stability, odor, cleaning, and machining environment.
How do I choose slideway oil?
Consider machine type, guideway design, OEM viscosity, load, movement speed, and coolant exposure.
