5.5.4.4 Calculation formulas
Basically the emptying time of lubricant cartridge P1 needs to be determined.
With multiple axles per lubrication system, the axle most traveled needs to
be taken into consideration for the calculation (on linear gantries, this is typi-
cally the Y-axis).
The following specifications of your application are needed:
• Average velocity of the axle (vm) in m/s
• Operation time (t) of the plant per day in hours
• Power-on time (POT) in %
The following values need to be calculated for P1:
Value Formula Unit
Running performance of the axle per
day (V) vm x t x POT x 0.036 km/day
Recommended lubrication quantity per
day (P) (V x P
t
)/ 100 cm

/day
Emptying time of lubricant cartridge
(P1) Cartridge volume /
(P x 30) months

The lubrication quantity calculator will help you determine the corresponding
settings and lubrication quantities for your application. The lubrication quan-
tity calculator can be found in the download area of our company website
