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:
Ÿ
Load
Speed
Ÿ
Ÿ
Movement
Ÿ
Temperature
Short lubrication intervals are necessary in cases of:
Ÿ
Effects of dust and moisture
Ÿ
Heavy loading
High speed (up to V
Ÿ
Ÿ
Short travel
Ÿ
Low age stability of the lubricant
The mechanical components must be lubricated with a grease gun at the grease nipple on the
sliding carriage as specified in the table below. The covering strip should be greased at the
same time to prevent premature wear.
If the equipment is used under special conditions, we will be pleased to carry out an exact
investigation on lubrication requirements. In this case, please get in touch with your supplier,
or with Tollo Linear AB directly.
