What should be done when a linear guide rail rusts after long-term use? The linear guide rail manufacturer has compiled the following solutions for everyone, hoping to be helpful!

Linear guides can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear movements in a given direction. According to the friction properties, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types.

At present, linear guides tend to rust. Generally speaking, linear guides are coated with a layer of rust proof oil when they leave the factory. Why does it rust? This is because many people directly place the guide rails in the warehouse without any other protective measures after use. Remind everyone to apply a layer of rust proof oil on the linear guide rail after use. Don't think that the factory has added oil, in fact, the rust proof oil evaporates quickly.

Store at room temperature in a warehouse. Do not mix with corrosive substances, and do not place unused linear guides underground, as the underground rust proof oil evaporates quickly, so it is important to pay attention to this. If assembled inside the equipment and covered with an aluminum alloy frame, some rust proof oil or lubricating oil can be regularly wiped to prevent the lubricating oil from evaporating. Long working hours result in contact and friction between the machine and the surface of the steel rail. The increase in friction coefficient is not conducive to the service life of the slider.

If the linear guide rail is exposed and in close contact with external air and dust, it is recommended to maintain it regularly, clean and maintain it once a week, wipe off the grease and external dust on the guide rail with a cloth, remove debris, and then apply lubricating oil or grease. Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure that the linear guide rail can operate for a long time in conjunction with mechanical automation equipment. It is important to keep the surface of the linear guide clean to prevent rust on the guide. When cleaning, it is important to choose a suitable method for cleaning. Based on the properties of the rust resistant surface and the current situation. After the surface is dry, it can be dried with filtered dry compressed air, or dried with a dryer at 120 ℃~170 ℃, or wiped with clean gauze. Finally, apply rust proof oil on the linear guide rail.
