Machine Lubricants

Effective lubrication plays an important role in tube bending performance, tooling life and overall production consistency. Delahenty Machinery’s Machine Lubricants category provides lubrication solutions designed to support demanding metal forming and tube bending applications.

During bending, friction between the tube, tooling and mandrel can affect surface quality, machine loading and tooling wear. Using an appropriate high-pressure bending lubricant helps reduce friction and allows tooling components to operate more smoothly. This becomes particularly important when manufacturing thin-wall tubes, tight-radius bends or components that require a high-quality surface finish.

Delahenty Machinery offers specialised bending oils and pastes, including its Macbend range, developed for heavy-duty mandrel tube and pipe bending applications. These lubricants are intended to help increase tooling life, reduce machine load and support greater consistency in finished bent components.
