Lubrication

When a linear drive unit is operated with only short travel (<100mm) always at the same
place, sufficient lubrication is not ensured. In this case, carry out a movement over the entire
range of movement at regular intervals, after about 250 to 500 double travels.
During operation, occasionally check the correct function of the linear drive unit by visual
inspection.
The following factors are important for exact determination of the lubrication interval:
Load
Speed
Movement
Temperature
Short lubrication intervals are necessary in cases of:
Effects of dust and moisture
Heavy loading
High speed (up to V
Short travel
Low age stability of the lubricant
Size WH 40
Optionally use one of the two grease nipples (1), located on each side of the sliding carriage
for lubrication.
