SPL lubrication plate
ATTENTION!
Risk of material damage posed by improper handling of
contact elements!
The oil-delivering contact elements are slightly pre-stressed and can
be destroyed by improper handling.
• Carefully slide the lubrication plate over the end of the guideway.
• Only install lubrication plates when the carriage is on the guideway.
General
Lubrication plates are delivered ready for installation, i.e. filled with oil.
• When using lubrication plates on the carriages, carry out an additional filling with
grease. For recommended lubricant quantities, see „12.3 Amount of lubricants"
on page 75.
• Only use lubrication plates in pairs.
• Do not use lubrication plates if the guideways are in direct contact with coolant.
• Use covers to protect guideways from dirt, swarf, and coolants, using additional
wipers if necessary.
• Apply regular lubricating strokes over the full travelling distance of the axis.
• Include the lubrication plates in the machine maintenance plan:
• Check the wipers regularly for wear.
• Check the oil film on the guide rail track.
• Carry out lubricating strokes.
• Refill the SPL.
Installation
1. Loosen and remove the upper screws on the standard front plate
(In the case of MONORAIL MR the lower screws remain screwed into the carriage,
whereas in the case of MONORAIL BM the front plate must be held).
2. In the event that the central lube hole in the front plate is closed with a sealing
plug, remove this and replace it with a set screw.
3. Carefully slide the lubrication plate over the guide rail end to the carriage.
4. Secure the lubrication plate using the long screws included in the SPL delivery.
Replacement
1. Loosen and remove the screws from the lubrication plate. In case of BM, takie
care to hold the front plate in place as rolling elements may otherwise be lost.
2. Remove the lubrication plate from the guideway end.
3. Carefully slide the new lubrication plate over the guideway end to the carriage.
4. Fasten the new lubrication plate.
Installing ZCV/ZBV additional wipers or ASM/ABM metal wipers
1. Remove the screw plug from the front central lube hole. For installation of the
additional wiper, see „ZCV/ZBV additional wipers" on page 64. For installation
of the metal wiper, see „Replacing ASM/ABM metal wipers" on page 65.
2. Install the additional wiper and/or metal wiper onto the lubrication plate using
the screws included.
3. Re-seal the front central lube hole with the removed screw plug or using a lube
nipple.
