Linear guides are commonly used in life. How much do we know about this product? Maybe you will feel at a loss, you have a lot of questions. The following editor summarizes some of the difficult problems of linear guides for you, and let's take a look at them.
How to choose grease for linear guide?
You should know that lubrication has a great impact on the life of linear guides. Here I want to talk about the principle of choosing lubrication. It includes basic oils and additives. If the types and brands are different, then their grease performance There is a big difference, and the allowable rotation limit is also different. When we choose, we must also pay attention to it. The performance of the grease is determined by the basic type. In general, the viscosity is only suitable for low temperature. Of high speed. If it is high viscosity, it is suitable for high temperature and high load. Thickeners also have a serious impact on the lubrication performance, which determines its water resistance. Different brands of grease cannot be mixed, otherwise, it will have an adverse effect on it.
Should the linear guide be cleaned before installation?
There will be anti-rust oil on its surface. We should use clean gasoline and kerosene for washing, plus high-quality lubricating grease, they can be installed and used. Cleanliness has a great impact on the life of the linear guide, as well as vibration and noise, but I should remind my friends that the fully enclosed linear guide should not be cleaned and refueled.
How to safety and dismantle the linear guide
Do not directly hammer the end face when installing. There are also non-stressed faces to ensure even force during installation. If you apply lubricant during installation, it will be smoother. When the disassembly encounters difficulties, you can use the disassembly tool to pull it outwards, while pouring hot oil over the inner ring.
