Description:

Shell Tonna S2 M oils are specially designed for the lubrication of machine tool slides, tables and feed mechanisms. Their enhanced tackiness and stick-slip characteristics combine to offer superior frictional performance on slideways. They are specially recommended in cases where high exposure to soluble cutting fluids exist.

Performance, features and benefits:

•Ready separation from water-miscible cutting fluids Separates completely and immediately from water-miscible metalworking fluids allowing easy removal by skimming. This helps to achieve longer coolant life, better cutting performance and to reduce Health & Safety issues. 

•Good slideway adhesion 

Provides very effective adhesion to slideway surfaces, resisting wash-off by metalworking fluids and thus reducing oil consumption and giving more uniform working condition for the machine. 

•Good frictional properties 

“Stick-slip” problems are overcome allowing more accurate positioning. This provides benefits of improved finished surface quality and dimensional accuracy of work pieces. 

•Good anti-wear performance 

Provides anti-wear protection for slideways, gears, bearings and hydraulic system components. 

•Excellent corrosion prevention characteristics 

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

Application:

•Machine tool slideways, tables and feed mechanisms Developed for use on a wide range of materials used for machine tool slideway surfaces, including cast iron and synthetic materials. 

Shell Tonna S2 M oils can be used also in the hydraulic and gearboxes system although in such applications Shell Tonna S3 M oils are generally preferable. 
The lower viscosity grades are intended for horizontal slide lubrication (Shell Tonna S2 M 32 or 68). For vertical slides use Shell Tonna S2 M 220.
