LUBRICATION
Lubricate the machine axes in preparation for extended storage. When the control is left ON for a
minimum of 30 minutes and all axes travel their full length several times, the ball screws and linear
guideways will receive enough lubrication for storage.
- NOTE -
The grease volume presented is dependent upon the grease gun being used;
carefully measure the amount of grease or count the grease gun strokes necessary
to lubricate the guides and ball screws. Be certain that all air is purged from any
grease gun before use.
The center port on the grease manifolds (labeled “BS”) feeds the ball screw for the associated axis.
KLÜBER
®
Isoflex NCA 15 grease (Hardinge grease cartridge part number TT 0010994NCA) is rec-
ommended. These greases possess superior abrasion and adhesion properties. Grease should be
added when the linear guides are still warm from operation.
Add grease according to the following table:
Location
Ball Screw
Grease Volume
Linear Guideway
Grease Volume
X Axis
4 cc
7 cc
Y Axis
3 cc
7 cc
Z Axis
10 cc
7 cc
E Axis (Tailstock or Sub-Spindle)
10 cc
7 cc
When a LINCOLN #1147 grease gun is used (Hardinge Option Part Number TT 0010994-01), the
following number of strokes supplies the correct amount of grease:
Location
Ball Screw Lube
Linear
Guideway Lube
X Axis
4½ strokes
8 strokes
Y Axis
3
3
8
strokes
8 strokes
Z Axis
11½ strokes
8 strokes
E Axis (Tailstock or Sub-Spindle)
11½ strokes
8 strokes
Make certain that all the sliding surfaces are lubricated well by jogging the axes at 50% of the maxi-
mum rapid traverse for a full 30 minutes before resuming automatic machine operation.
