8.3 Lubrication connections
HIWIN blocks offer three possibilities for installing a lubrication connection:
| On the front end
| On the side
| From above
The block has a bore on the left and on the right hand side in each of the two plastic deflection systems, to install a lubricat-
ing adapter laterally. In the case of the CG series, these holes are prepared ready for use and closed with a screw plug.
For the HG, QH, EG, QE, WE, QW, RG and QR series, a thread has to be cut into the prepared side hole using a screw tap for
cutting blind holes. The maximum thread depth acc. to Table 8.1 must not be exceeded. Then clean the bore hole, it must be
free of chips and other contaminants. Finally, the side lubrication connection must be opened at the base of the hole using a
hot metal spike.
Damage to the block due to improper opening of the lubrication hole!
X Do not use a drill to open a lubrication hole as this creates the risk of chippings entering the block!
ATTENTION!
Not all blocks have a lubrication connection.
In the CG series, these holes are prepared so they are ready for use and sealed with a sealing screw.

8.3.1 Lubrication connection on the front side
It is possible to install a lubrication connection on either side of the block. Each lubrication connection that is not in use is
sealed with a sealing screw. This is the HIWIN standard configuration.
