The linear guide rail may experience wear and tear during operation, which can lead to a decline in device performance over time and create hidden dangers. So it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance and upkeep. How to maintain it? Please see the manufacturer share specific operations with you.

1、 The following precautions should be taken for linear guides:

1. Clean the surface dust and stains in a timely manner to avoid falling into the interior of the guide rail. If not applicable, cover with a dust-proof cloth.

2. The impact pressure cannot exceed the range that the guide rail can withstand, and it is not allowed to directly hit the guide rail with a hammer. It is not allowed to transfer pressure through rolling elements.

3. Use appropriate and accurate installation tools for the guide rail, and try to use specialized tools to avoid using fabrics and short fibers.

4. Do not directly grip the guide rail with your hands. Wash your hands with hand sanitizer and wear gloves. Pay attention to wearing anti slip gloves to prevent them from falling on the ground.

2、 Maintenance and lubrication oil for linear guide rails

The most important thing to prevent rust on the guide rail is to keep the surface of the linear guide rail clean. When cleaning, appropriate methods must be selected based on the properties of the rust inhibitor surface and the conditions at that time. After the surface is dried and cleaned, it can be dried with filtered dry compressed air, or dried with a dryer at 120 ℃~170 ℃, or wiped dry with clean gauze. Finally, the linear guide rail is coated with antirust oil, including soaking, brushing, spray, etc.

In addition, attention should be paid to the damage of water quality to the guide rail. It is inevitable that water will splash onto the guide rail during processing. If the water separation performance of the guide rail oil is poor, it will be decomposed by water, and oil droplets into the cutting fluid will cause cutting fluid pollution. Therefore, the water separation performance of the guide rail is extremely important. Some relatively rough machinery has large guide rails, simple structures, and pits on the guide rails. They are designed to be lubricated with lubricating grease, and most of them are manually squeezed with a grease gun to provide oil. Require all grease to be EP extreme pressure type, otherwise the remaining grease on the guide rail cannot withstand heavy loads after being extruded.
