Re-lubrication
Maintenance
Replacing the Wipers
shall not be held liable for damage caused by incorrect
installation and improper maintenance!
If the wiper elements in the end caps of the Bearing Carriage are damaged or
become very worn, they must be replaced. Depending on operating conditions,
you should check the wipers every six months or if you notice excessive lubri-
cant seepage, replacing them as necessary. The wipers can be replaced even
when the carriage is mounted on the Guide Rail.
Never unscrew the end cap of a Bearing Carriage!
Insert a piece of wire 1 mm in diameter into the holes in a wiper and
prise the sides out of the end cap. Use a flat-headed screwdriver to
disengage the locating tab of the wiper under the lubricating nipple
and lift the wiper away from the Guide Rail.
Place a new wiper (0.0.443.28) on the Guide Rail and push it towards the end
cap, ensuring it is precisely aligned. Use the flat side of a flat-headed screwdriv-
er to press the wiper carefully into the rear slots of the end cap.
Take particular care to ensure that the locating hooks are not bent!
Push the Bearing Carriage along the rail to check that the wiper is securely
engaged.

After refilling with lubricant, resistance to movement may briefly increase until,
after a number of strokes, the lubricant has been evenly distributed.
In principle, the precise timing for subsequent lubrication and
the volume of lubricant required should be determined under
actual operating conditions. If the lubrication intervals are excessively long or if
the volume of lubricant is inadequate, this will be indicated by a reddish-brown
discolouration of the lubricant, primarily in the reversing position of the stroke
movement. In such cases, re-lubricate immediately and correct the lubrication
interval and volume of lubricant.
Clean the Guide Rail and the lubricating nipple.
Fill the Bearing Carriage via a lubricating nipple with the following volumes of
lubricant:
Oil lubrication: Approx. 0.9-1.2 cm
3
Grease lubrication: Guide value 0.5-2 g; or at least until fresh grease is expelled.
Move the Bearing Carriage along the entire stroke or for a distance of at least
twice the length of the Bearing Carriage.
Ensure that the Guide Rails are covered with a visible film of lubricant along
their entire length. Apply additional lubricant to the rails, if necessary.
Prior to any long period out of service and before resuming operation, the linear
guide system should be re-lubricated with oil or grease.
