OPERATING MANUAL Automatic lubrication system FlexxPump 404DLS Commissioning 6.4.7 Lubrication recommendation 6.4.7.1 General information The running surfaces of guideways, racks as well as the drive pinions generally need to be sufficiently lubricated. A precise recommendation on the lubrica- tion quantity needed cannot be made, because that depends on various fac- tors.
OPERATING MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Commissioning FlexxPump 404DLS 6.4.7.2 Basics The following lubricant quantities should be dispensed at least per lubrication Average lubricant requirement at a point. These are empirical values from Güdel. These values can be met only lubrication point approximatively due to the number of outputs of the pumps and the installed splitters.
OPERATING MANUAL Automatic lubrication system FlexxPump 404DLS Commissioning 6.4.7.4 Calculation formulas Basically the emptying time of cartridge P1 needs to be determined. With multiple axles per FlexxPump, the axle most traveled needs to be taken into consideration for the calculation (on linear gantries, this is typically the Y- axis).
