Monorail Guidance Systems

Lubrication
Oil or grease lubrication Monorail guidance systems must be lubricated. Technical, economic
and ecological factors will determine whether oil or grease should
be used and which lubrication method should be applied.
A significant factor in selecting the type of lubrication is the
environmental conditions (contamination, etc.) acting on the
guidance system. If extreme conditions are anticipated, it is
recommended that Schaeffler Group External Sales is consulted in
the design phase.

Overview of lubricating oils
Overview of lubricating greases
RUE..-E (-L-KT), KUSE, KUVS, KUE are supplied with a preservative.
The preservative is compatible with oils and greases having a
mineral oil base.
Series KUVE..-B (-KT) is supplied with initial grease lubrication.
Monorail guidance systems run exclusively under mixed friction
conditions. Doped lubricants should therefore be used in preference
(type P to DIN 51502).
