Mobil Velocite No. 6
Mobil Velocite No. 6 is part of the Mobil Velocite Oil Numbered Series, a range of premium performance spindle and light hydraulic oils developed primarily for high-speed spindle bearings in machine tools. These oils are formulated using select low-viscosity base oils and additives that provide good oxidation resistance, rust protection and excellent water separation. The formulation supports precision lubrication and dependable performance in high-speed applications.
One of the key advantages of Mobil Velocite No. 6 is its effective lubrication of close-tolerance bearings. The balanced viscosity helps reduce friction and heat generation, allowing spindle bearings to run cool while maintaining precision. This contributes to improved machining accuracy and extended equipment life.
Mobil Velocite No. 6 also provides good oxidation resistance and corrosion protection. The formulation helps minimise deposit formation and extend oil service life. It also protects precision components against rust and corrosion, supporting long-term performance.
Another important benefit is its versatility across multiple applications. Mobil Velocite No. 6 is suitable for high-speed spindle bearings, precision grinders, jig borers and light-duty circulating systems. It may also be used in low-pressure hydraulic systems where a low viscosity lubricant is required. The oil performs well in sensitive instruments requiring consistent lubrication.
Physical characteristics include ISO VG 10 viscosity grade with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 10 mm²/s at 40°C and 2.62 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil Velocite No. 6 has a flash point of approximately 180°C and a pour point of approximately −15°C. The oil provides excellent cooling, precision lubrication and reliable performance for high-speed spindle applications.
