Refilling the Lubricating Applicator for Precision Rail Vehicles
If the rails require lubrication and there are lubricating applicators that are attached to the
underside of the vehicles, refill the lubricators periodically.
NOTE:
The lubricating applicators only lubricate the running surfaces of the rails, to lubri-
cate the entire rail see
Manually Lubricating the Precision Rails
The frequency of lubrication depends on the distance traveled.
Required Tools and Equipment
•
68 viscosity EP mineral oil.
•
Syringe or other injector.
Procedure
1.
Stop all motion on the section of the MagneMover LITE transport system where the
vehicle is located.
2.
Locate the lubricating applicator under the precision rail vehicle.
The applicators are on the underside of the vehicle and can be mounted between the
concentric bearings or the eccentric bearings as shown in
CAUTION
Strong Magnets
To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other
medical electronic implants must stay away from the magnet
array on the vehicles (pucks).
To avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive forces:
•
Handle only one vehicle (puck) or magnet array at a time.
•
Do not place any body parts, such as fingers, between a
vehicle (puck) or magnet array and any ferrous material
or another magnet array.
•
Vehicles (pucks) or magnet arrays not being used must be
secured individually in isolated packaging.
To avoid damage to watches, instruments, electronics, and
magnetic media, keep metal tools, metal objects, magnetic
media (for example, memory disks/chips, credit cards, and
tapes) and electronics away from the magnet arrays.
