What Are The Lubrication Methods For Stainless Steel Linear Guides?

The lubrication methods of stainless steel linear guides mainly include the following:

1. Manual grease feeding method
Operation method: Use the grease gun to regularly replenish grease through the grease nozzle set on the linear guide. For systems with more lubrication points, centralized piping can be used to use a manual pump to replenish grease from a certain part.
Note: In the centralized piping method, the viscous resistance in the pipeline must be considered to ensure that the lubricant can reach the end of the pipeline. Choose the appropriate grease consistency, pipeline diameter and use conditions.

2. Automatic refueling method
Operation method: Use an automatic pump to force the specified amount of lubricant to be injected within the specified time interval.
Advantages: Ensure that the linear guide is continuously and evenly lubricated, and reduce the problem of insufficient or excessive lubrication caused by human factors.

3. Oil injection lubrication method
Design features: The guide adopts a sealed design with an oil filling hole to facilitate oil filling and ensure that there is no oil leakage.
Operation method: Regularly add lubricant to the oil filling hole to ensure the smooth operation of the linear guide.

4. Built-in oil storage block lubrication method
Technical features: The guide rail has its own storage function, which can store oil well and is convenient for daily use.
Operation method: Regularly add oil through the oil filling hole to ensure that the linear guide rail is continuously lubricated.

5. Choice of oil lubrication and grease lubrication
Oil lubrication: Suitable for high-speed and high-precision applications, providing better cooling and cleaning effects, but the cost is high and it is easy to pollute the environment.
Grease lubrication: Suitable for medium and low speed applications, easy maintenance, and can better maintain the stability of the lubricant.
