Buy sewing machine oil
The main reason for the rapid wear and tear of the equipment is the increased friction of the components. That's why regular cleaning and lubrication is a good way to extend the service life. Let’s figure out which sewing machine oil to choose, how often to use it, and how much bottle lubricant costs.
Why is machine oil needed?
Sewing oil is a lubricant that prevents friction and wears on parts by creating a protective layer. For instance, the shuttle mechanism and the bobbin case are moving elements compared to human joints - they tend to wear off, and any contamination by tiny particles is akin to inflammatory processes. Just use a lubricant to prevent the ingress of dirt, protect against corrosion, and create a sliding effect during the movement.
What types of sewing machine lubricant oil are there?
The ingredients of industrial sewing machine oil directly depend on the raw material from which they are made:
- Mineral
The so-called petrochemicals use petroleum jelly and may contain anti-rust and anti-wear solid agents and antioxidants as additional substances. These oils are representatives of the cheaper segment but are pretty effective when used regularly. - Synthetic
These fluids are usually produced by synthesizing petroleum products and exclude mineral fats and solvents. They also have a higher viscosity and heat resistance than mineral oils, which eliminates the possibility of spillage. - Semisynthetic
This class of oils is a mixture of petroleum products and synthetic components. They adhere better to metal and provide better lubrication.
Different classes of equipment require a specific formulation of lubricant. So before delving into the variety of products in the Konsew store, refer to the instructions for use.
How often should I lubricate my sewing machine?
We recommend lubricating your sewing machine depending on the frequency of use. For example, if it is new industrial equipment that has a regular load, it is worth cleaning and lubricating every six months. As it wears out, try to check for sewing machine lubricant more often, such as every three months.
Can I use motor oil on my sewing machine?
Many Konsew store customers frequently mistake engine lubricant for sewing machine oil. These are two completely different substances, where the former can cause the grinding of the gears, odor emissions, and even fire. Therefore, we advise using only lubricant specific for each type of equipment. Leave the motor oil for your car.
