14 1 Uniline series Lubrication The raceways of the guide rails in the Uniline linear axes are prelubricated. To achieve the calculated service life, a lubrication film must always be present between the raceway and the roller. The lubrication film also provides anticorrosion protection to the ground raceways. n approximate value for the lubrication period is every 100 km or every six months. The recommended lubricant is a lithium-based roller bearing grease of medium consistency. Lubrication of the raceways Proper lubrication under normal conditions: reduces friction reduces wear reduces stress on the contact faces reduces running noise Lubricants Thickeners Temperature range [ ] Dynamic viscosity [mpas] Roller bearing grease Lithium soap -0 to +170 <4500 Tab. 9 Relubrication of the guide rails These types of rails have a lubricating conduit on the side of the slider plate (type 100 is equipped with lubricating nipple) through which the lubricant can be applied directly to the raceways. Lubrication can be done in one of two ways: 1. Relubrication using a grease gun: This is done by inserting the tip of the grease gun into the conduit at the slider plate and injecting the grease inside (see fig. 0). Please note that the grease has to fill the whole conduit in order to lubricate the rail properly; for this reason sufficient grease must be used.. utomatic lubrication system: To connect the unit to an automatic greasing system, use a proper adapter/connector* that attaches to the threaded hole on the side of the trolley. The advantage of this solution is the possibility of rail re-lubrication without machine downtime. *(ny adapter that may be necessary must be manufactured on site) ig. 0 leaning the guide rails It is always recommended to clean the slider rail prior to any relubrication, in order to remove grease residues. This can be done while performing maintenance work or during a scheduled machine stop. 1. Unscrew the safety screws (on top of the slider plate) from the belt tensioning device (see fig. 1).. lso completely unscrew the belt tensioning screws and remove the belt tensioning devices from their housings.. Lift the toothed belt until the guide rails can be seen. Important: Ensure that the side seal is not damaged. 4. lean the rail raceways with a clean and dry cloth. Ensure that all grease and dirt residues from previous work processes are removed. To ensure that the rails are cleaned over their entire length, the slider plate should be moved once over its entire length. 5. pply a sufficient amount of grease to the raceways. 6. Re-insert the belt tensioning devices into their housings and mount the belt tensioning screws. Re-adjust the belt tension (see pg. U- 6). 7. asten the safety screws. ig. 1 U-14

54 5 Uniline H series Uniline H series Uniline H series description ig. 81 Uniline is a family of ready-to-install linear actuators. They consist of internal ompact Rail roller sliders in a rigid aluminum profile. Longitudinal seals enclose the system. This arrangement provides the best protection for the actuator from soiling and damage. In the H series, the compensating bearing rail (U-rail) is mounted horizontally in the aluminum profile. The H series is used as a compensating bearing axis for load absorption of radial forces, and in combination with the other series, as support bearing for the resulting moments. Versions with long (L) or double (D) sliders in one axis are possible. H series is a slave actuator, it has not the driving belt. The most important characteristics: ompact design Protected internal linear guides High traversing speeds Grease-free operation possible (depending on the application. or further information, please contact our pplication Engineering department) High versatility Long strokes Versions with long or multiple sliders available in one linear axis Preferred areas of application: Handling and automation Multi-axis gantries Packaging machines utting machines Displaceable panels Painting installations Welding robots pecial machines Technical data: vailable sizes : H: 40, 55, 75 Length and stroke tolerances: or strokes <1 m: +0 mm to +10 mm (+0 in to 0.4 in) or strokes >1 m: +0 mm to +15 mm (+0 in to 0.59 in) U-54
