The displacement resistance of a carriage depends on many factors, e.g. load, temperature, lubricant (grease, fluid grease, oil), lubricant quantity, travel speed, series, size or the sealing system. A concrete specification of the displacement resistance is therefore only possible with defined general conditions. An essential factor here is the lubricant and the lubrication condition. Especially in freshly lubricated condition, the displacement resistance is clearly increased. However, after a running-in period of 15 metres, the displacement resistance is reduced again by approx. 50%.

In the following video, you can see how chamfering edges on linear guideways works both mechanically and manually.

The long-term lubrication unit for linear guideways ensures that lubrication intervals can be increased many times over, thus reducing the number of maintenance intervals significantly. Depending on requirements, up to two long-term lubrication units can be mounted on each block.

The cover caps are used to keep the mounting holes of the profile rails free of chips and dirt. In this video, we show you how to easily assemble and disassemble steel, brass or plastic cover caps.
