Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32

RockDrill S1 AW 32 – Pneumatic Tool and Rock Drill Oil

Product Overview

Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32 is a lubricant for pneumatic tools and rock-drilling equipment whose oil requirement matches the product category and ISO VG 32 grade. Compressed air provides the power, while the lubricant serves the moving and impact contacts that make the tool work. Oil delivery is often linked to the air supply or a dedicated lubricator, so the product must be considered together with the feed arrangement. Its purpose is focused lubrication of the tool mechanism during working cycles.

Product Identification and Grade

Key Features and Benefits

1. Lubrication of the working mechanism

Moving parts inside an air tool rely on lubricant reaching the intended contact surfaces. Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32 provides a defined grade for that task. The oil should be supplied through the tool manufacturer recommended route so that it reaches the mechanism instead of merely collecting in the supply line.

2. Attention to repeated impact contacts

Rock drills and impact tools can subject lubricated surfaces to repeated loading. Their lubrication requirement differs from that of a lightly loaded general-purpose mechanism. Match the product to the tool duty and documented contact-performance requirement when specifying oil for these applications.

3. A grade matched to the lubricator

The oil must pass through the fitted metering or delivery arrangement at the relevant temperature. The ISO VG 32 designation helps establish that match. Too little delivery can leave contacts inadequately supplied, while excessive feed can increase oil discharge without improving lubrication at the working point.

4. Support for consistent operation

A stable oil-feed arrangement helps keep lubrication consistent as the tool operates. This supports a clearer assessment of changes in tool behaviour because oil identity and feed settings are known. Supply pressure, air quality and mechanical condition should be considered alongside the lubricant.

5. Management of a demanding air supply

Moisture and contamination in the compressed-air system affect tool service. The lubrication programme therefore works together with air treatment, condensate drainage and clean connections. Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32 should be introduced through a system maintained for the tool, with attention to the condition of the incoming air.

6. Clear separation from other machine oils

A product identified for pneumatic service is easier to manage correctly than an unlabelled workshop oil. Recording the full name at the lubricator and in the service schedule helps keep air-tool lubrication separate from slideway, hydraulic and other industrial oil duties.

Applications

Select Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32 for the specific pneumatic tool rather than the compressed-air network alone. Different tools may need different oil-feed rates or lubrication methods even when connected to the same supply. The tool model, operating temperature, working load and air-treatment arrangement provide the practical information needed for selection.

• Pneumatic tools specifying the relevant oil grade and lubrication arrangement.
• Rock drills and impact equipment with matching lubricant requirements.
• Air-line lubricators where the product and feed method are suitable for the tool.
• Scheduled lubrication of supported air-powered mechanisms.

Viscosity and Grade Selection

The ISO VG 32 designation identifies the nominal viscosity class at the 40°C reference temperature. It is a grade reference, not a measured typical property for an individual batch and not the maximum operating temperature. This grade is used as a defined viscosity reference within the product family. Its suitability depends on the oil requirement of the specific equipment, not on the popularity of the grade. As oil temperature changes, its viscosity changes too. The operating requirement therefore includes both starting conditions and the temperature reached during normal service. Use the current product data sheet to review the actual viscosity and any other properties required for the application. A different series with the same grade can still have a different intended duty. Keep the full product designation when comparing alternatives or placing an order, and use the equipment specification to decide whether a neighbouring grade is appropriate.

Performance in the Application

The lubricator setting and the quantity of oil reaching the tool are related but are not always identical. Long hoses, changes in orientation and interrupted use can affect how oil travels with the air supply. Confirm the delivery arrangement specified for the particular tool and consider whether a local lubricator is part of that design. Tools used intermittently should be assessed under their normal working cycle, including the start of operation after a stop. The aim is controlled lubrication at the moving contacts, with the air supply and oil-feed system operating together.

Handling and Service

Keep the lubricator clean and fill it with the identified product. Set oil delivery according to the tool instructions and check that the feed operates under actual air flow. Drain condensate where required and inspect hoses and connections. Investigate abnormal exhaust, sluggish movement or increased consumption alongside air pressure and tool condition. Store new oil in sealed containers.

Store the product in its original labelled container in a clean, covered area. Close the container after dispensing and use dedicated, clean transfer equipment. Protect the product from water and debris and keep batch identification legible. Follow the safety data sheet for handling and spill management, and manage used product through the applicable collection arrangements.

Why Choose This Product?

Choose Synolex RockDrill S1 AW 32 for air-powered tools that need the specified grade delivered to their moving mechanism. Its purpose is controlled lubrication during repeated working cycles, including the contacts used in impact duty where applicable. A suitable product and properly adjusted feed system help make the oil available where the tool needs it.

Product Selection and Ordering

For product selection or an order, provide the complete Synolex designation, the equipment or process application and the quantity required. Where a replacement is being considered, include the current lubricant name and the relevant equipment requirement. This allows the proposed product to be compared on application and documented properties. The current technical data sheet governs numerical specifications and any formal approvals. The comparison section below retains the product references and their qualifications, so that a potential alternative can be reviewed in its proper technical context.

The entries below support technical comparison. A documented comparator does not establish an automatically approved replacement. Conditional alternatives require the stated differences to be resolved. A family-level lead does not verify the exact grade, and the absence of a verified entry does not mean that no product exists in the market.
