Maintenance Chapter 5
Initial Lubrication
During first-time start or when rails have been cleaned, complete these steps.
1. Run system at 0.5 m/s mover velocity.
2. Pump at 0.7 cc (0.024 oz) increments every 10 minutes until the furthest
rail section from the pump has become lubricated.
It is normal for some of the oil to become black, but you must not see
signs of rusting or burnt grease, which is a sign of missing lubrication.
Normal Operation Lubrication
Lubrication amounts and frequency during normal operation depend on many
factors including length of track, number of movers, application motion
profile, cleanliness of the operating environment and other factors.
Table 21 is
a rough guideline that must be adjusted for each application to strike a balance
between a thin film of oil on the rail contact surfaces and over lubrication that
causes excess oil splatter. TriMax bearing system has three rails for each system.
The values that are shown here are for each rail.
The values in Table 21 are guidelines only; monitor the rails every few hours
until a quantity and frequency can be established for the current application. It
is best to have a higher frequency with lower amounts of oil dispense to allow
the oil to coat the rails evenly.
TIP The film of oil is thin and can be hard to see. Wipe the rail section
that contacts the mover roller with a finger; you want to see a small
amount of lubricant.
