Do you know the importance of guide rail lubrication?

When using linear guides, good lubrication must be provided. If used in a non-lubricated state, the rolling parts will wear out more quickly, resulting in a shortened service life.

 

In order to give full play to the function of the linear guide, please provide lubrication according to the specific conditions of use.

 

 

Even with a linear guide with a sealing baffle, the internal lubricant will gradually leak out during operation.

 

 

Therefore, the system needs to be lubricated at appropriate intervals according to the conditions of use.

1. The purpose of guide rail lubrication

 

 

The purpose of adding lubricant is to prevent metal contact between the raceway surface inside the linear guide and the rolling elements, reduce friction and wear, and prevent heat generation and sintering.

 

 

When a sufficient oil film is formed between the raceway surface and the rolling contact surface of the rolling element, it also has the effect of reducing the contact stress caused by the load.

 

 

It is very important to manage the lubrication work and form an oil film to ensure the reliability of the linear guide.

 

Second, the choice of lubricant

 

 

To give full play to the performance of the linear guide, it is necessary to select the appropriate lubricant type and lubrication method according to the form, load, speed, etc. of the linear guide.

 

 

However, linear guides have very little dependence on lubricants compared to sliding guides, so the amount of oil is small and the filling interval is long, which can greatly reduce the burden of maintenance and management.

 

 

Lubricants for linear guides can be divided into two types: grease and lubricating oil.

 

The role of Baoxing rail grease

 

 

1. Make the guide rail to reduce frictional resistance, reduce driving power, and improve efficiency

 

2. Reduce rail wear and prevent rail corrosion. The flowing lubricating oil also plays a role in flushing.

 

3. Avoid crawling under low speed and heavy load, and reduce vibration.

 

4. Reduce frictional heat at high speed and reduce thermal deformation.

 

Baoxing Lubricant has been focusing on researching and developing automation equipment screw guide lubricating oil and grease for 15 years.
