Procedure
The lubricating applicators are attached to the underside of the vehicle between either the con-
centric bearings or the eccentric bearings as shown in Figure 42. To maintain consistency
between vehicles, and to apply lubricant evenly to both sides of the rail system, MagneMotion
recommends that half the vehicles be installed with the applicator between the concentric
bearings and the other half between the eccentric bearings.
NOTE: When installing the vehicles on the rails, alternate the vehicles so that two consecu-
tive vehicles do not have the applicator on the same side.
Figure 42: Precision Rail Vehicle Lubricating Applicator Location
NOTE: The felt tip contains a v-groove that must be oriented correctly to the rail. If the
v-groove does not align with the rail, excess drag is created and the vehicle cannot
move freely along the rail.
1. Stop all motion on the path where the vehicle having a lubricator installed is located.
2. Install the applicator at either the eccentric bearing or concentric bearing location by
inserting two M3 x 8 mm screws into the appropriate holes on the top of the vehicle as
shown in Figure 43.

3. Position the applicator on the underside of the vehicle, below the two corresponding
screw holes. Make sure that the felt end of the applicator is facing toward the rail loca-
