VI. HD Machine Lubrication.
5.1 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 5.1

5.2 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.

5.3 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
