Portal axes with ball screw drive 83
8.2.2 Lubrication
Lubricant is used continuously during operation of the linear axis. There-
fore, regular relubrication is mandatory.
The lubrication system is not completely tight. Therefore, small amounts
of lubricants may escape after relubrication.
Insufficient lubrication or incorrect lubricants increase wear and reduce
the service life. The following factors influence the lubrication intervals:
• Dust and dirt particles
• High operating temperatures
• Heavy loads
• Heavy vibration
• Permanent short-distance positioning
• High speed of rotation of ball screw
CAUTION
DAMAGE DUE TO WRONG LUBRICANT
Wrong lubricants may damage the product.
• Use the correct type of lubricant (grease, oil) as required by
the linear guide of the linear axis.
• Note the type code.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
