68 13 13.3.9 Lubrication Lubrication is a design element and must therefore be defined during the development phase of a machine or application. If the lubrication is only selected after design and construction is complete, based on our experience this is likely to lead to considerable performance difficulties. A carefully thought out lubrication concept is therefore a sign of a state-of-the-art and well devised design. Parameters to be taken into account in selecting the lubricant include: • Operating conditions (speed, acceleration, stroke, load, installation orientation) • External influences (temperature, aggressive media or radiation, contamination, humidity, vacuum, cleanroom) • Subsequent lubrication (Period of time, amount, compatibility) • Compatibility (with other lubricants, with corrosion protection and with integrated materials such as plastic) Technical and economic considerations determine the lubricant used. MINISLIDE initial lubrication MINISLIDE products are lubricated with Klübersynth GE 46-1200 at the factory. MINISLIDE subsequent lubrication intervals The lubricant should be applied to the guideway. The subsequent lubrication interval depends on different influencing variables, e.g. load, working environment, speed, etc. and can therefore not be calculated. The lubrication area should therefore be monitored over a longer period. A) Subsequent lubrication with oil For subsequent lubrication with oil, mineral oil CLP (DIN 51517) or HLP (DIN 51524) with a viscosity range between ISO VG32 and ISO VG150 in accordance with DIN 51519 is recommended. During lubrication, the carriages/guideways should be moved along the entire stroke length so that the lubricant is distributed correctly. B) Subsequent lubrication with grease For lubrication with grease, lubricating grease KP2K or KP1K is recommended in accordance with DIN 51825. During lubrication, the carriages/guideways should be moved along the entire stroke length so that the lubricant is distributed correctly. Custom lubricants Special lubricants are used for specific purposes. For example lubricants for use in vacuums, cleanrooms, for high or low temperatures, for high speeds or high-fre- quency strokes. SCHNEEBERGER can deliver the guideways with the appropriate lubricant for any of these areas of application (see chapter 14.2). MINISLIDE frictionless table product overview
