Lubricating a Lexium PAS4•B-Series with Recirculating Ball Bearing Guide

Overview

The axis is lubricated with grease from a factory-prefilled external reservoir. The carriage features two lubrication nipples at each side for lubrication.

The maintenance intervals at normal ambient conditions are indicated in the maintenance plan.

Shorten the indicated intervals accordingly in severe conditions or at the following influencing factors:

oDust and dirt particles

oHigh operating temperatures

oHeavy loads

oHeavy vibration

oPermanent short-distance positioning

Lubrication Amount

axis	Lubricant	Type	Relubrication volume	Strokes⁽¹⁾
Lexium PAS42BB	Microlube GL 261⁽²⁾	Grease	0.25 cm³ (0.0153 in³)	0.5
Lexium PAS43BB			0.5 cm³ (0.0305 in³)	1
Lexium PAS44BB			1.0 cm³ (0.061 in³)	2
(1) According to the provided lubrication guns by Schneider Electric. (2) Or alternative lubricants with label K1N-30 according to DIN 51825.

Prerequisites

Lubricating a Lexium PAS4•B-Series with Recirculating Ball Bearing Guide

NOTE: Use the grease lubrication gun for the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Press the nozzle in a right angle against one of the lubrication nipples (1) and inject the specified amount of lubricant. For the correct type and quantity of lubricant, refer to Lubrication Amount. NOTE: oWhen applying the lubricant, you must not exceed a maximum flow rate. Therefore, the minimum injection time of 3 seconds per lubrication gun stroke must be adhered to. oMove the carriage between the strokes to distribute the grease into the lubricant reservoirs evenly.
2	Repeat step 1 alternating for the first and the second lubrication nipple at one side of the carriage until you reach the specified number of strokes.
