How should linear guides be lubricated in applications?

   In the choice of smoothing agent, we should stop choosing according to the applicability. Some smoothing agents have the effect of reducing friction and avoiding its exchange. Some smoothing agents have the effect of reducing the surface stress between rolling surfaces and prolonging their lifespan. Some smoothing agents can avoid surface rust and fully improve their utilization rate. Therefore, for different purposes, different smoothing agents should be selected. The requirements for common linear guides are relatively high. Generally, a variety of conditions must be met at the same time. The requirements are: high stability, high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, low friction, and high oil film strength.

    According to the variety of smooth oil, it is also divided into smooth oil and smooth oil. Smooth oil usually depends on the conditions and environment, and different oils are selected. Under normal conditions, every 100 kilometers of work, smooth oil needs to be replenished. Smooth oil requires the linear guide to be coated with anti-rust oil, and only the linear guide with anti-rust oil can stop the oil from being smooth.

    It is worth noting that in very low-temperature operating environments, the lubricating oil is often washed away, thus reducing the smoothness of the linear guide. Therefore, in places with low temperatures, it is necessary to always pay attention to the smoothness level, stop smoothing it at any time, and increase the smoothness frequency and refueling volume, so that the linear guide can be well maintained and maintained.
