8.10 Standard lubrication condition at delivery
Depending on the product group, HIWIN linear guideways are supplied either preserved, with basic lubrication or with initial
lubrication.
| Preserved blocks are completely coated with an anticorrosive oil. Before commissioning, an initial lubrication must
take place according to Section 8.11.
| Blocks with basic lubrication are delivered with a reduced amount of grease. The lubrication channels are largely
free of lubrication grease. This facilitates lubricant changeover and enables the change from grease to oil lubrication.
The basic lubrication is sufficient for the commissioning of the linear guideway. Once it has been successfully com-
missioned, an initial lubrication must take place according to Section 8.11.
| Blocks with initial lubrication are delivered with the recommended amount of grease acc. to Section 8.13.
