Bearing Maintenance
Recirculating Bearing Rail And Block
Lubrication type: For grease lubrication, a
Maintenance procedure: Clean rails with clean cloth. Apply a thin film of grease onto the rail. Manually pass the bearing block down the rail and allow the grease to pass through the wipers on the leading and trailing edges of the bearing block. Wipe away any excess grease. Avoid excess grease to achieve the lowest friction resistance.
Some bearings are supplied with special grease fittings. Contact Baldor for specific instructions for these fittings.
Frequency of maintenance: Recirculating bearing rails are lubricated by Baldor prior to shipment of the positioning stage. Inspect the rails frequently and apply grease at least once each year. Frequency of maintenance depends on factors including duty cycle and environment. Inspect for contamination, damage, corrosion, etc.
Note: Do not mix synthetic greases with petroleum based greases. For special requirements lubrication, consult Baldor.
Cross Roller Type Bearing
Lubrication type: Usually these bearings do not require additional lubrication. However, in applications where the duty cycle is high with rapid motion, lubrication with lithium, non paraffin base bearing grease is recommended. A mineral based grease with a viscosity of 15 to 30 is recommended
Maintenance procedure: Apply a thin film of grease into the “V” surface of the bearing rail. Avoid excess grease to achieve the lowest friction resistance.
Frequency of maintenance: Cross roller bearing assemblies are designed to provide long, trouble free working life and require minimal maintenance. Cross roller bearing rails are lubricated by Baldor prior to shipment of the positioning stage. We recommend that you inspect the rails frequently and apply grease at least once each year. Frequency of maintenance depends on factors including duty cycle and environment. Inspect for contamination, damage, corrosion, etc.
