Perfect lubrication for a perfect system In order to achieve a long service life, rack and pinion systems require adequate lubrication. We offer different models of lubricators, lubrication pinions and mounting axes, all adapted perfectly to our linear systems. The polyurethane foam lubricating pinion is supplied via a lubricator with a preset grease quantity determined by you. This ensures an optimal lubricating film on the rack and pinion. In addition to the supply of lubricant, the lubricating pinion also ensures cleaning of the open toothing. Lubricators LUC+5 and LUC+00 Solutions for decentralized lubrication a solution you can count on. Replaceable lubricant container Up to outlets with up to different freely controllable lubricant quantities Lubricating pinion Perfectly adapted to our rack and pinion systems Time control Action panel for setting the operating time Impulse control Control and voltage supply via machine control system Battery-operated version with empty signal and synchronization option High-pressure plastic hose Pre-filled, suitable for cable tracks
Your benefits System Accessories Ready-to-install solutions all the required parts are included in the scope of delivery Solutions adapted to your application W ith impulse control and V power supply to be fully integrated in the machine control system: lubricant quantities can be precisely adjusted to the application (minimal-quantity lubrication) Battery-operated with time control as a standalone solution (LUC+5 only) Performance lubricants for different applications Significant reduction in maintenance costs Exceptionally reliable electromechanical design ensures an extremely long service life for the entire drive system Use of cartridges One lubricator can supply up to (LUC+5) or (LUC+00) lubrication points by the use of splitters Linear guides can also be lubricated in combination with the WITTENSTEIN alpha G grease.
Lubricating pinion Due to the high feed forces which can occur in a rack and pinion drive, the open toothing must be lubricated at all times. Therefore we recommend automatic re-lubrication using our polyurethane lubricating pinions and lubricators. Re-lubrication with the PU lubricating pinion ensures that the lubricant is applied to the toothing continuously and automatically, while the lubricator supplies lubricant whenever it is needed. For this purpose, the lubricating pinion, which is adapted to the toothing of the pinion or rack, engages with the teeth to ensure that the lubricant is transferred to the toothing without load. The open-cell polyurethane foam ensures that the perfect quantity of lubricant is supplied to the toothing, even over extremely lengthy periods. The material stores a quantity of lubricant and dispenses it continuously in minute amounts to prevent wear caused by a lack of lubrication. In order to ensure immediate full functionality of the lubricating pinion and to prevent damage to the drive through dry starting, it must be pre-lubricated (ideally soaked in the grease used for several hours)! Open pore polyurethane foam stores the lubricant and dispenses it evenly Axle has no interference contour (countersunk screw) Integrated bearing bushing for greater durability You have the choice the following lubricants are available for selection: WITTENSTEIN alpha G Standard grease for open gearing High-performance grease / adhesive grease for open gearing under extreme loads NLGI class 0 Long-fibred lithium/calcium complex grease with high pressure additives Heat-resistant, good corrosion protection properties Does not contain solid lubricants Applications: Used together with a lubrication pinion and continuous re-lubrication for open gearing under extreme loads Suitable for a wide range of applications due to hightemperature properties WITTENSTEIN alpha G Special grease for rack and pinion drives, linear guides and ball screws Extremely short-fibred and homogeneous, lithiumsaponified universal grease containing a mineral oil used to lubricate roller and slide bearings and is suitable for medium to high loads Extremely adhesive; suitable for short stroke applications Water-resistant and protects against corrosion Applications: Used together with a lubrication pinion and continuous re-lubrication for open gearing Lubrication of linear guides and ball screws Available packages: Replacement cartridges LUC+5 / LUC+00; grease gun cartridge; 8 kg tub Available packages: Replacement cartridges LUC+5 / LUC+00; grease gun cartridge; 8 kg tub Adapted to Open gearing Adapted to Open gearing Linear guide Ball screw
