Precision Rail Lubrication

The rails and bearings are an open system that requires continuous lubrication. To avoid
breakdown of the lubrication, the precision rails must always have a thin film of oil across the
entire rail system and the bearings in the vehicles. This coating provides both lubrication and
environmental protection. The interval to resupply the lubrication depends on the distance
traveled, load on the vehicles, and environmental factors. There are several different methods
for lubricating the rails as described here. Use 68 viscosity mineral oil, such as Kluber 4
UH1-68N, to lubricate the bearing rails.
Manually Lubricate the Rails
Lubricate the rails manually when needed (see
page 362).
Use Vehicle Mounted Lubricators
Install lubricators on the vehicles to provide continuous lubrication (see
