LUBRICATION SYSTEMS FOR LINEAR GUIDEWAYS
Monguzzi srl integrates its supply of industrial transmission with lubrication systems for Hiwin linear guideways. These are crucial to ensure their precise, regular and smooth performance for a long time. Indeed, lubricant prevents friction between contact surfaces, protects against corrosion and reduces wear, therefore allowing for longer maintenance intervals. The right lubrication of a linear guideway is essential before its activation. That’s why it’s important to follow and comply with set procedures. Although lubrication is necessary in all applications using linear guideways, demands of industrial sectors can vary significantly. In some cases, lubricants need to ensure greater adhesion, hermetic seal effect and excellent resistant to environmental fluids or other damaging elements which can compromise efficiency.
INTEGRATED OIL LUBRICATION
UNIT E2
It’s an easy to install and replace lubrication unit allowing for a regular and automatic lubrication of Hiwin linear guideways. Lubrication oil flows from an interchangeable tank to a lubricating unit through a designed connector and then it’s spread over the track of the rail. It’s worth underling the importance of using an appropriately viscous oil for the best lubricant supply. This self-lubricating unit is suitable for all application fields. Indeed, an optimized system preventing oil leaks makes it ideal for clean workplaces, including food industry. Moreover, self-lubricating block is maintenance-free in most applications, therefore allowing for further reduced costs and longer lubrication intervals as well.
SEALING SYSTEMS AND
SYNCHMOTION™ TECHNOLOGY
Monguzzi srl also offers some Hiwin solution to preserve and support linear guideways lubrication processes.
- Hiwin sealing systems help to extend linear guideways service life therefore reducing maintenance works. On one hand, they protect against contaminants entering the block, like dust, particulates, splinters, water, liquids or other damaging materials. On the other hand, they avoid lubricant leaks extending lubrication intervals and components’ durability consequently.
- The innovative SynchMotion™ technology characterizing Hiwin linear guideways Q series reduces the contact between rolling elements and block, therefore eliminating mutual friction. Not only that. This technology ensures excellent lubrication for linear guideways because it enhances distribution and preservation of lubricant inside the block in favor of long service life and reduced maintenance.
LUBRICATION ADAPTERS
Accessories for Hiwin linear guideways lubrication are available. They are adapters which are supplied with the block and can be applied in non-standard positions. Grease nipple is attached to the front side of the block as standard. However, when rear hole is closed, lubrication can also be carried out from above or laterally by applying the adapter above or into one of the four side holes, respectively.
LUBRICANT OILS AND GREASES
Hiwin offers different types of lubricant oils and greases for linear guideways which are suitable for various applications: heavy-duty applications, clean room applications, high-speed applications or high-speed clean room applications, along with the many standard applications. It’s essential to always check mixability of different lubricants in order to avoid linear guideways damages, as well as the reduction of performances and lubrication intervals. For this reason, it’s worth remembering that whether lubricants are not miscible its’ necessary to remove the existing one before switching to a different one. In addition to the range of products, specific pumps to injects lubricant manually and possible adapters are available.
