Lubrication of open gear drives and racks
The teeth of open drives should preferably be relubricated automatically.
F01 only for open gears and rack and Pinion drives
F02 for open gears, rack and Pinion drives and linear guides in food and Pharmaceutical sector (NSF)
F03 for open gears, rack and Pinion drives and linear guides
Automatic relubrication with polyurethane lubrication-pinions
DLS Schmiersysteme supplies lubrication gears made of PU foam for the automatic, continuous application of the lubricant.
For this purpose, a suitable lubrication gear is brought into contact with the drive gear or the rack.
The PU lubrication gear does not transmit any torque, but only transfers the lubricant to the toothing that is in contact.
The required relubrication quantities for different gears under different operating conditions can be found in the diagram below.
The prerequisite for the validity of the diagram is the use of the corresponding PU lubricating Pinion and a suitable gear lubricant such as F01, F02 or F03.
Before using for the first time, the PU lubrication pinions must be filled with a suitable lubricant.
