The base jaws of the guides are matched to each other. To have these parts replaced, send the complete rail system along with a repair order to SCHUNK or order the rail system set as a spare part. 6.1.2 Exchanging the rail and base jaws version W The carriages of the rail system are matched to each other and cannot be exchanged separately.
Maintenance 6.3 Lubricants/Lubrication points (basic lubrication) SCHUNK recommends the lubricants listed. During maintenance, treat all greased areas with lubricant. Thinly apply lubricant with a lint-free cloth. Lubricant point Lubricant Metallic sliding surfaces microGLEIT GP 360 Sliding surfaces within the cylin-...
Maintenance • The carriages of the rolling system of the types 32 to 63 may also be re-lubricated via a lubricating nipple. • It is to be ensured that always the same grease is used in order to avoid gumming in the lubrication channels. Should a different grease be used, a compatibility test must be carried out.
