CKRF does not have a grease nipple for lubrication, but apply grease to the inner block from the grease inlet on the side face of the outer rail and directly to the ball screw shaft.
Maintenance Method for supplying grease The following figure shows a CKRF representative greasing method for your reference. When you adjust the strip seal, you will need the strip seal adjustment jig with the 1 mm shim pasted on the back of the table cover. Please contact THK for details.
