The main maintenance of the linear module of the sliding table mainly includes: the lubrication of the linear module, the protection of the linear module and the maintenance of the ball screw;

The purpose of linear module lubrication is to reduce frictional resistance and frictional wear to avoid low-speed creep and reduce temperature rise at high temperatures. Therefore, the lubrication of the linear module is very important. For sliding linear modules, lubricating oil is used; while for rolling linear modules, lubricating oil, grease, and petroleum jelly can be used. (Remember to clean up the dirt and residue in maintenance)

Protection of the linear module: During operation, attention should be paid to prevent chips, abrasive particles or cutting fluid from being scattered on the surface of the linear module, otherwise it will cause increased wear, abrasion and rust of the linear module. For this reason, pay attention to the daily inspection of the protective device of the linear module to ensure that the protective measures of the linear module are in place.

Ball screw maintenance method：

Good lubrication is necessary when using a ball screw. Without sufficient lubrication, the friction between the steel ball and the rolling surface will increase during operation, and it may become the main reason for the shortened life.

The ball screw can be lubricated with grease or lubricating oil, and the lubrication method can be roughly divided into manual lubrication and automatic forced lubrication. The suitable choice can be made according to the operating speed of the system and the use environment.

The frequency of lubricating grease varies according to the conditions of use and the environment. Generally, it is recommended to replenish the grease once every 100KM of running distance. The oil lubrication method recommends using lubricating oil with a viscosity of 30~150cst.

Ball screw screw maintenance method: the lubricant used for the screw, the lubricating grease is the lubricating oil of the lithium soap base, and its viscosity 3# (minus 30-180℃) is the ISO grade 32~100.

Selection basis: For low temperature applications: use a lubricant with low base oil viscosity. For high temperature, high load or shaking, low speed applications: use a lubricant with a high base oil viscosity.
