Today, we will introduce the lubrication device of the linear guide rail
One: What is the lubrication of linear guide rails? ？

Lubrication of linear guide rails refers to the use of lubricants in linear guide rail systems to reduce friction, prevent wear, reduce noise, and improve the motion accuracy and service life of the guide rails. The lubricant forms a thin film between the guide rail and the slider, avoiding direct metal contact, thereby reducing friction and wear.

Two: What are the functions of lubricating linear guide rails?

1. Reduce friction: The lubricant forms a protective film between the guide rail and the slider, reducing the coefficient of friction.
2. Prevent wear: Avoid direct metal contact, reduce wear.
3. Reduce noise: The lubricant can absorb vibration and reduce noise during movement.
4. Improve accuracy: Reducing friction and wear helps maintain the motion accuracy of the guide rail.
5. Extend service life: Good lubrication can significantly extend the service life of the guide rail system.

Three: What are the lubrication methods for guide rails?

1. Manual lubrication: Regularly apply grease or lubricating oil manually, suitable for low-speed, light-load applications.
2. Automatic lubrication: The automatic lubrication system provides a timed and quantitative supply of lubricant, suitable for high-speed, heavy-load, or continuous operation applications.
3. Oil lubrication: Using lubricating oil, suitable for high-speed, high-precision applications.
4. Grease lubrication: Using lubricating grease, suitable for low-speed, heavy-load, or applications requiring long-term lubrication.

Four: How should lubricants be selected?

1. Lubricating oil: Good fluidity, suitable for high-speed, high-precision applications. Lubricating grease is generally replenished every 100 km or the lubrication frequency is adjusted according to the specific situation. When there is pollution, vibration, or other influences, the lubrication cycle should be shortened accordingly.
2. Lubricating grease: High viscosity, suitable for low-speed, heavy-load, or applications requiring long-term lubrication. It is recommended that customers use lubricating oil with a viscosity of ISO VG32~150.

Five: What are the precautions for using lubricants?

1. Appropriate lubrication: Too much or too little will affect performance; too much may cause leakage, while too little will increase friction and wear.
2. Cleaning: Clean the guide rail and slider before lubrication to avoid impurities affecting the lubrication effect.
3. Regular inspection: Regularly check the lubrication status and replenish or replace the lubricant in time.

The small lubrication device is closely related to the service life of the guide rail, so choosing the appropriate lubricant and lubrication method and performing regular maintenance can effectively improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the guide rail system.
