spindle oil noun

Full Definition of SPINDLE OIL

: a light fluid lubricating oil from petroleum suitable for oiling the spindles of spinning machinery and also for other light high-speed machinery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spindle oils are a type of low-viscosity mineral oils marketed for use in lubrication of high-speed machine spindles.[1] Spindle oil is free from gumming properties.[2] Since the viscosity is so low the oil runs off the surface of the spindle during shut-down periods, the spindle oil may be doped with additives that prevent rusting. Since the spindle oil often is used in textile factories it is also important that it doesn't stain the textiles.


Shell Spindle® Oils are premium quality, highly refined lubricating oils formulated for use in high-speed, lightly loaded bearings, running at speeds of 20,000 to 40,000 RPMs, found in textile spinning frames and in automated machine tools.
