Lubrication method of THK agent linear guide oil
THK agent linear guide rails may not be able to use the usual grease when used under special conditions such as frequent vibration, clean room, vacuum, low or high temperature. So what are the different advantages of THK linear guide oil? How to lubricate with grease? The following small series will answer for you!
THK Agent Linear Guide Oil Lubrication: The amount of fuel varies with the length of the trip. Especially when traveling long distances, the number of lubrications or the amount of lubrication can be increased to form an oil film on the rolling surface until the end of the trip. In the case of coolant overflow, the lubricating oil will mix with the coolant, causing the lubricant to be emulsified or washed away, which will significantly reduce the lubricating performance. In these places, please use a lubricating oil with high viscosity (kinematic viscosity: about 68cST) and high demulsification rate, and adjust the lubrication frequency or dosage. For machine tools and other similar equipment, which bear heavy loads, require high rigidity and high-speed operation, it is recommended to use oil lubrication. Please confirm the lubricating oil discharge at the end of the lubricating line (the installation part of the oil hole of the linear motion system
THK Agent Linear Guide Lubrication Method: Mandatory Refueling - This refueling method uses an automatic pump to force the injection of a specified amount of lubricant within a specified time interval. Normally, this lubricant is not recycled after use. This method reduces the possibility of forgetting to replenish lubricating oil, although the lubrication design, such as pipelines, needs to be considered. This method is mainly used for lubricating oil lubrication. If grease is used, due consideration needs to be given to the pipe diameter and the consistency of the grease.
The manual method typically uses a grease gun, which is regularly replenished with grease through a nozzle provided on the linear motion system.
For systems with multiple components that require lubrication, centralized piping and hand pumps can be used to regularly replenish grease from one component.
THK Agent Lubricants offer the following benefits:
(1) Reduce friction between moving parts and reduce wear.
(2) An oil film is formed on the rolling surface to reduce surface stress and prolong rolling fatigue life.
(3) Cover the metal surface with an oil film to prevent rust.
In order to give full play to the role of the THK rolling guide, please lubricate according to the conditions of use. When the installation method is not used horizontally, it may be difficult to transport the lubricant to the rolling surface. Please contact THK for the installation method and installation position of the nozzle and pipe fitting joint on the THK slider. In addition, even the THK rolling guide with sealing gasket will gradually leak lubricating oil during operation. Therefore, grease should be replenished at appropriate intervals according to the use situation. THK's linear motion system helps to provide a guide to make this accuracy and speed. The important thing in cutting machinery is the "machining center". The ball-holding type LM guide and ball screw have high precision and high rigidity. They are suitable for the worktable with fast and accurate positioning of the workpiece and the driving mechanism of the moving tool. In addition, the cross roller ring is important for the smooth rotation of the rotating table. Although machining centers and other numerical control lathes are the main means of manufacturing mass-produced products, milling machines are still used in production. In addition, under the careful control of skilled personnel, advanced machines are also produced, capable of manufacturing good products. To reproduce this advanced product, LM guides and ball screws are used in the milling machine guide system without wasted action.
