LUBRICATION

The trouble-free operation on the lathe depends on its careful servicing. Of
special importance is the regular lubrication of all machine-operating parts with
the recommended lubricants. These lubricants are listed in the Fig. 3a 3b 3c
–Lubricating System.
The headstock (see Fig. 3a 3b 3c) is lubricated by the splash in of the oil,
charged in it. The oil may be poured into after removal of the cap from the
combined oil vent with oil filler. (p.1), located in the headstock cover. The oil
draining by unscrewing the plug (p.1--1) to the oil draining tube. If the oil has to
be replaced, clean the headstock with pure naphtha carefully. While charging
new, its level must be to the middle of the oil sight glass. The disk couplers and
the main spindle front bearing are lubricated by an oil-collecting groove.
The feed box is charged oil through a hole (p.2), located in its l. h. side (III type
feed box) and r. h. side (I & II type feed box) (viewed frontally). The oil quantity
must be also such that its level reaches the middle of the sight glass. The oil
drainage is effected through the plug (p.2--2).
The change gear sleeve for the quadrant shall be lubricated with grease once
per day by the help of suitable oiler. The change gears shall be lubricated with
oil once per shift.
The carriage box is lubricated through a common hole (p.3), wherefrom the oil
is fed into a tank which is also common for the whole box. By suitable grooves
the oil is fed further to the respective bearing as a portion of it drops on the
bottom of the box, from where the gears are oiled. The oil is drained through a
plug (p.3--3).
The carriage as well as the slide-guiding surface are lubricated by the help of
suitable oilers (p.6), pressed into the carriage and cross slider (p.8). The el.
motor bearing shall be cleaned well and filled with new grease once per six
months. All the friction surfaces of the carriage, traveling stock and conic lineal
shall be oiled by the help of an oil-holder or oiler according to the lubricating
system. The lubricating points are marked in the Fig. 3a 3b 3c –Lubrication
System.
