16.3 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines
16.3.3 Lubrication of MINIRAIL
Initial lubrication
Unless specified otherwise, carriage and guideway are delivered separately
(see chapter 18.1). They are delivered unlubricatedand musthaveasuitable
lubricantfor the application applied before operating.
A) Oil lubrication
For 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.
Guideway:
Thetracks of the guideway should be coated in a thin film of oil using a lint-free
cloth soaked with oil (also applies when using the optional LUBE-S. See chapter
8.1).
Carriage:
The wipers on the carriages each feature two lubrication holes (see chapter
7.1.8), so that the left and right ball recirculation pathways can be lubricated
separately. During lubrication, the carriages should be moved along the
entire length of the rail so that the lubricant isapplied toboththe carriage
and guideway. Ensure both tracks are properly lubricated.
A relubrication set with KLÜBER Structovis GHD can be ordered from
SCHNEEBERGER, part number MNW.
B) Grease lubrication
For lubrication with grease, lubricating grease KP2K or KP1K is recommended in
accordance with DIN 51825.
Guideway:
The tracks of the guideway should be coated in a thin film of grease using a lint-free
cloth (also applies when using the optional LUBE-S. See chapter 8.1).
Carriage:
The following quantities of grease should be applied to the ball bearings with an
applicator.
