7.1 Lubricating the X-Y Rack and Pinion.
Lubrication is important with rack and pinion
gearingsystems.Athinlmofgreaseshould
alwaysbepresentonthecontactingtoothanksto
minimize metal to metal contact.
Lithium grease lubrication is recommend over oil, as
theoillubricationwillowawayfromtoothanks.
The grease should be applied to the rails at regular
intervals, depending on the usage of the machine.
Use a small brush to coat both rails on the side of
the Y-axis and the single rail across the X-axis. Fig

7.2 Lubricating the X-Y-Z Rails
The rail carriage bearings are sealed and
protected with wipers. The rails should be
lightly oiled to allow smooth operation. Avoid
a build up of debris on the rails by blowing
them off with air, or wiping them down with
a rag. The rails do not need to be lubricated
as often as the rack, once a month should be
sufcient.

7.3 Lubricating Z Ballscrew
The Z axis uses a ballscrew and ballnut
instead of a Rack and Pinion. The ballnut
has a nipple for applying lubrication to the
mechanism. Fig 5.3a
