How should I clean the THK linear guide rails if they rust?

Even with correct use, stainless steel THK linear guides can rust. THK linear guides require additional maintenance. Standard THK linear guide products come with high-quality lubricant (lubricating oil) or lithium soap. Base grease is injected inside the slider. After installation and trial operation, please lubricate the slider again before formal operation. Lubrication should use the same lithium soap-based lubricant. Before leaving the factory, the surface of the THK guide of standard products has been coated with rust preventive oil; during installation, if there are measures to clean the guide, please apply an appropriate layer to the surface of the THK guide after installing the machine. Compatible lubricant. Because the slider of the THK linear guide is composed of many plastic parts, please avoid contacting or soaking these parts with certain organic solvents during cleaning to avoid damaging the THK guide. Foreign objects entering the slider are one of the reasons for slider failure and damage, and this should be avoided. Any disassembly of THK linear guide parts may cause foreign objects to enter the slider or reduce the accuracy of the linear guide. Please do not disassemble the THK linear guide without authorization. Improper tilting of the THK linear guide can also cause the slider to slide out of the guide due to its own weight, so please keep the linear guide level during movement. Dropping or impacting the THK linear guide will damage its normal function, please avoid improper dropping or impact, and perform appropriate surface treatment when used in special environments.

The importance of water separation for THK linear guides

The importance of THK linear guides in water separation. When using THK linear guides, they often come into direct contact with water, such as in machining centers and lathes. During use, water often splashes onto the THK linear guides. If the water separation performance of the THK guide lubricant is not good, it will be directly decomposed by water, and the oil will drip into the cutting fluid, thus seriously polluting the cutting fluid. Therefore, the water separation performance of the THK linear guide is very important. Many precision machine tools are more convenient to use, so the linear THK guide and the hydraulic system will use the same oil. In fact, the editor suggests that it is best to use a dual-purpose oil for hydraulic actuators. If hydraulic oil is used alone, it will result in poor wear resistance, leading to serious wear of the linear guide or being directly washed away by water. However, if only THK guide lubricant is used, it may cause excessive oil sludge in the hydraulic system, resulting in pressure failure to meet the requirements. Most machinery prefers to use a centralized lubrication method to lubricate THK guides. In fact, THK guide oil and extreme pressure grease are directly installed in the same transparent container, and the machine will automatically replenish it wherever it is. For this oil, the grease used in THK linear guides is unrecoverable in terms of wear, and many guides are basically directly exposed to the outside and cannot be recovered or recycled. Micromotion wear is the appearance of pitting on the same channel. The spacing between them is mainly based on the entire diameter of the steel ball, mainly due to the lack of oil film, and during shorter forming and operation, vibration will accelerate and eventually be oxidized.

Japanese imported THK linear guide SRG45 series has arrived

Japanese imported THK linear guide rail SRG45 series has arrived!!!! SRG45A ARG45LA SRG45C SRG45LC SRG45V SRG45LV SRG45R SRG45LR All models are in stock. Welcome to inquire. Structure and features The SRG type uses a roller retainer to achieve smooth movement with low friction, and is a super high rigidity roller guide that achieves long-term operation without maintenance. [Super high rigidity] Using high-rigidity rollers as rolling elements and making the roller length more than 1.5 times the roller diameter, higher rigidity can be obtained. [4-direction equal load] In order to make the four acting directions (radial, anti-radial and lateral) on the LM slide have the same rated load, the roller rows are designed to be arranged at a contact angle of 45°, so all directions have high rigidity. [Smooth movement by preventing offset] By using a roller retainer to evenly separate and arrange the rollers in a cycle, it is possible to prevent roller offset when the slider reaches the load zone, and also to minimize the fluctuation of rolling resistance, thereby achieving smooth and stable movement. [Long-term operation without maintenance] Using a roller retainer eliminates mutual friction between rollers and improves grease retention, enabling long-term operation without maintenance. [World standard size] The size of this model is based on the all-steel ball LM rolling guide HSR type, which was developed by THK, a pioneer of linear motion systems, and has become a de facto world standard. [Rich accessories] End seals, internal seals, side seals, multi-layer contact scrapers LaCS, dust covers, side scrapers, GC hole covers, etc. are available, suitable for various usage environments.
