Refilling
The lubrication plate can be refilled via the front, middle, or lateral lube holes (size MR
25 only from the front). For ordering information and dimensions, see the Technical
data section of the MONORAIL catalogue. To do this, remove the applicable screw
plug using an Allen wrench and replace it with a lube nipple. A conical lube nipple is
available for order as an accessory.
Refilling is carried out for example using an oil press via a conical or flush type lube
nipple screwed into one of the prepared lube holes in the front, the middle, or laterally.
A special oil bottle offered by SCHNEEBERGER as an accessory can also be used.
Refilling is carried out in this case directly into the SPL lube hole, eliminating the need
for a lube nipple.
Lubrication plates are refilled using the oil quantities in the table (see „12.3 Amount of
lubricants" on page 75) in approximately 4 to 5 stages, depending on the size and
condition of the lube connection used.
In order to achieve optimal refilling results, it is recommended that both lateral lube
connections are used.
An interval of approx. 5 minutes should be left between each individual filling stage.
Oil release should be checked at the felt contact points with the guideway.
The filling quantity generally depends on the drainage rate of the lubrication plates.
Refilling SPL-MR
See „Lubricating volumes for SPL refilling" on page 76.
Refilling SPL-BM
See „Lubricating volumes for SPL refilling" on page 76.
The lubrication plates should be refilled in accordance with the applicable operating
conditions. As a guideline, the following refilling intervals can be assumed:
• BM 15 - BM/MR 35: 2,500 km
• MR/BM 45 - MR 65: 5,000 km
An accurate determination of the intervals can only be achieved under actual
operating conditions. More frequent refilling will be required under unfavourable
conditions, or in an unfavourable climate or working environment. Irrespective of the
distance travelled, refilling is necessary after a maximum of 12 months operation.
