Initial Lubrication Using the Pump System
During first-time start or when rails have been completely cleaned do the following.
1. Run system at 0.5 m/s vehicle velocity.
2. Pump at 0.25 cc (0.008 oz) increments every 10 minutes until the furthest rail section
from the pump has become lubricated.
The film of oil is thin and can be hard to see. Wipe the rail section that contacts the
vehicle bearing lightly with a clean dry wipe and perform a visual inspection of the
wipe. If little or no oil appears on the wipe, then the rails require lubrication.
It is normal for some of the oil to become black, but you must not see signs of rusting or burnt
grease, which is a sign of missing lubrication.
Lubrication Using the Pump System During Normal Operation
Lubrication amounts and frequency during normal operation depend on many factors includ-
ing the length of the track, the number of vehicles, application motion profile, cleanliness of
the operating environment, and other factors. Adjust the lubrication application to balance
between providing a thin film of oil on the rail contact surfaces and over lubrication that
causes excess oil to splatter. See the manufacturers documentation for detailed information.
When running the lubrication system initially, monitor the rails every few hours until a quan-
tity and frequency can be established for the current application. It is best to have a higher fre-
quency with lower amounts of oil dispensed to allow the oil to coat the rails evenly.
