Industrial Sewing Lubricants & Oils

Oil is used to lubricate the mechanism of sewing machines. Allowing the sewing machine to run low or dry of oil will cause the bearings and bushings to prematurely wear and to possible seize. The effects from running with low or no oil is the most common reason we see that sewing systems are sent in for repair.

McCain Industrial offers four types of industrial sewing lubricants:

Standard Lubrication Oil
Standard oil is an industrial sewing lubricant used to lubricate the mechanisms of standard speed sewing equipment. It is available for either portable or fixed sewing heads.

Synthetic Lubricating Oil
Synthetic oil is used as a sewing machine lubricant to lubricate the mechanisms of high-speed fixed sewing heads.

Cleaning Oil
Portable (handheld) sewers have a non-sealed mechanism which becomes contaminated with dust and debris from the product and/or environment. Periodic flushing with a cleaning oil will decontaminate the mechanism.

Thread Lubricant
When sewing heavy (thick) bags or bags composed of nonskid material, thread oil can be applied to the thread prior to sewing to prevent breakage. Thread lubricant is applied to the thread by either spraying or soaking the thread cone.

Sewing machine lubricant is available in single bottles or case quantities. For pricing contact us.
