What Are The Steps for Adding Lubricating Oil To The Linear Block?

1. Selecting the Appropriate Lubricating Grease

1.1. High-temperature lubricating grease: Suitable for linear guidesoperating in high-temperature environments, it can maintain stability and lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions.

1.2. High-speed lubricating grease: Suitable for linear guides with high-speed movement, it can provide excellent lubrication performance and reduce friction under high-speed conditions.

1.3. High-load lubricating grease: Suitable for linear guides subjected to large loads, it can provide good anti-wear and extreme pressure performance.

1.4. Waterproof lubricating grease: Suitable for linear guides operating in humid or water-contacting environments, it can prevent water from invading the guide system and provide excellent lubrication performance.

1.5. Long-life lubricating grease: Suitable for linear guides requiring a longer maintenance period, it can provide lasting lubrication performance and protection.

When choosing lubricating grease, in addition to considering working conditions and load requirements, it is also necessary to pay attention to factors such as the compatibility of the lubricating grease, temperature range, and anti-corrosion performance to ensure the selection of suitable lubricating grease and correct usage. At the same time, regularly check the condition of the lubricating grease and the operation of the lubrication system, and replace and replenish the lubricating grease in a timely manner to maintain the good operation of the guide system.

2. Prepare Tools and Materials

Before adding the lubricating grease, you need to prepare some tools and materials, including an oil gun, a grease gun, an oil can, a grease gun, cotton cloth, etc. These tools will help you apply the lubricating grease evenly on the block.

3. Cleaning the surface of the slider

Before applying the lubricating grease, it is necessary to clean the dirt and old grease on the surface of the slider. You can use a clean cotton cloth or a rag dipped in an appropriate amount of cleaning agent to gently wipe the surface of the slider until it is clean and free of impurities.

5. Check lubrication effect

After applying the lubricating oil, it is necessary to check the lubrication effect of the slider. You can gently push the slider to observe if it moves smoothly and check if there are any impurities or wear on the track. If you find that the lubrication effect is poor or there is wear, you need to clean it promptly and reapply the lubricating oil.

6. Regular Maintenance and Replacement of Lubricating Grease

The linear guide rail sliders require regular maintenance and replacement of lubricating grease. Generally, it is necessary to check and replenish the lubricating grease once every 3 to 6 months. At the same time, the maintenance cycle should also be adjusted according to the usage conditions of the sliders and environmental factors.

7. How to apply lubricant without an oil nozzle

For linear guide rail sliders without oil nozzles, we can simply apply the lubricant directly to the contact surface between the slider and the guide rail. And we particularly remind everyone not to mix lubricants from different brands.
