Product Description
Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series are extra high performance heavy duty circulating
oils specifically designed to meet the critical requirements of the Morgan
Construction Company's high speed No-Twist ® rod mill, manufactured by Morgan
Construction Company and Danieli. They are also suitable for the rolling mill
circulation systems of primary and mini-mill bearings. They are formulated
from high quality base stocks and a proprietary additive system to provide
enhanced film strength, antiwear and anti-scuff properties.
The oils have good wettability and provide extra oil retention and thin film
protection against rust and corrosion on gears, shafts, bearings, adjusting
screws and all housing sections. Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series have excellent
antiwear properties that eliminates scuffing and scoring of high-speed
gearing, particularly important in non-ferrous rod mills where the gears are
more heavily loaded. The Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series possess good demulsibility
that is retained under conditions of severe water contamination.
Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series products enjoy strong support from equipment
builders, and their exceptional performance over many decades, have made them
the lubricant of choice of many mill operators, world-wide.
Features and Benefits
The "Mobil Vacuoline" family of products is well known and highly regarded
worldwide based on their outstanding performance and the RandD expertise and the
global technical support which stand behind the brand. The exceptional
performance of Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series oils, has made it the choice of
no-twist rod mill manufacturers and operators around the world for many
decades.
Close contacts with mill designers worldwide is the
key factor in our understanding of the challenges for the lubricant in the
most advanced designs. Our research scientists use this information to ensure
the proper formulation of products like Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series, to meet
the severity requirements of the latest mill designs. It is with this
background and understanding that we are able to develop the advanced
lubricant technology that meets or exceeds the evolving technical requirements
of the equipment.
For Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series oils, this
work has resulted in a formulation based on high quality base stocks, along
with specially chosen additives, to provide exceptional antiwear, rust and
corrosion protection and excellent demulsibility which results in superb
equipment protection, highly reliable operation and long oil charge life. A
review of the features, advantages and potential benefits of the product are
shown below.

Applications
- Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series lubricants are recommended for use in both ferrous and non-ferrous Morgan No-Twist Rod Mills and Morgoil back-up roll bearing systems. For optimum performance, appropriate viscosity oils should be selected according to the loading and for operations without hydrostatic lift
- Mobil Vacuoline 525 is recommended for service in the single circulating oil system of high-speed rod mills. Such mills operate at speeds greater than 105 m/sec, with speeds of over 120 m/sec being projected in the future. These mills operate under severe loads in the presence of continuous water contamination. The balanced formulation of Mobil Vacuoline 525 enables extended trouble-free rod production to be achieved
- The remaining grades in the Mobil Vacuoline 500 Series are recommended for Morgan No-Twist Rod Mills, which have two lubrication systems. The higher viscosity oils are used in the roughing stands, while the lower viscosity grades are used in the higher-speed finishing stands
