36/62 Bosch Rexroth AG Linear modules MKK/MKR-xxx-NN-3 | R320103169/2020-08 Lubrication 13.1 Notes This chapter describes the basic lubrication of the linear motion system, if this has not been done by the manufacturer, and the relubrication by the customer. The required basic lubrication and relubrication by the customer is limited to the lubrication of the rail system and the ball screw assembly.
Move slowly (< 0.5 m/s) immediately after lubrication Performance altered by special operating conditions! Damage to the product. Before starting up the product under special operating conditions, please consult Bosch Rexroth AG. This applies especially to environments with glass fiber or wood dust, solvents, extreme temperatures, and for short-stroke applications.
13.4 Note the operating conditions Lubrication version LSS: Initial lubrication carried out by Bosch Rexroth. Linear modules (MKx-165-NN-2) come with initial greasing with Dynalub 510 and are only designed for grease lubrication using a manual grease gun.
