6.4 Lubrication recommendation
6.4.1 General information
NOTE
Lubricating film missing
A missing lubricating film on rails and racks leads to damage to the product.
This results in operational failure.
• Ensure that there is always a lubricating film on rails and racks during oper-
ation
• Perform the described tasks at the specified times
• Perform lubrication work at the latest when the first signs of tribocorro-
sion (reddish discoloration of the track) are visible
• Adjust lubrication interval if necessary
The running surfaces of rails, racks as well as the drive pinions need to be lu-
bricated. A precise recommendation on the lubrication quantity needed can-
not be made, because that depends on various factors. The calculations listed
here are based on empirical values and lead to reference values. The lubrica-
tion quantity needs to be checked regularly and needs to be adapted if neces-
sary.
The following non-conclusive factors determine the lubrication quantity:
• Kilometers traveled by the axle
• Degree of contamination of the axle
• Power-on time of the entire plant
• Ambient temperature
• Number of lubrication points
• Elements used in the lubrication system
These recommendations are valid exclusively for systems that are connected
according to the Güdel standard. Ü245
