Page 28: Roller Screw Lubrication
Roller Screw Lubrication requirements depend on the motion cycle (velocity, force and frequency of operation), type of application, ambient temperature, environmental and other factors. In general purpose applications to maximize service life Tolomatic recommends to re-lubricate the actuator at least every 1,000,000 cycles or once every year whichever comes first. For more demanding applications such as pressing, high frequency motion or other cases where the roller screw is highly stressed, the re-lubrication interval will need to be more frequent. -
