Slideway lubrication stick-slip effect
Smooth slideway operation requires special attention to friction. Slideways move in a linear motion and frequently operate under conditions of boundary lubrication, making them more susceptible to stick-slip. Without proper lubrication, loss of precision and even lost machine tool productivity may result.
