Lubrication
Select a lubrication method according to the conditions of the spline nut.
Oil Lubrication
For the lubrication of the spline nut, oil lubrication is recommended. Specifically, oil-bath lubrication or drop lubrication is particularly effective. Oil-bath lubrication is the most appropriate method since it meets harsh conditions such as high speed, heavy load or external heat transmission, and it cools the spline nut. Drop lubrication suits low to medium speed and a light to medium load. Select a lubricant according to the conditions as indicated in Table2 .
| Condition | Types of Lubricants |
|---|---|
| Low speed, high load, high temperature |
High-viscosity sliding surface oil orturbine oil |
| Low speed, light load, low temperature |
Low-viscosity sliding surface oil orturbine oil |
Grease Lubrication
In low-speed feed, which occurs less frequently, the user can lubricate the slide system by manually applying grease to the shaft on a regular basis or using the greasing hole on the spline nut. We recommend using lithium-soap group grease No. 2.
