Linear Way L

Lubrication and Dust Protection
Linear Way and Linear Roller Way are most generally lubricated with grease, which allows for easy
lubrication control. A grease nipple for grease replenishment is provided on each slide unit of Linear Way and
Linear Roller Way of standard specification (except some models). Parts such as piping joints are also
available, and can be delivered if required.
Linear Way and Linear Roller Way are provided with special rubber seals for dust protection. But, if a
large amount of fine contaminants are present, or if large particles of foreign matter may fall on the track rail, it
is recommended to provide bellows and other protective covers.
The size 2, 3, 4, and 6 models of Linear Way L are not provided with seals.
Pre-packed grease
A high quality lithium-soap base grease shown in Table 6 is pre-packed in Linear Way and Linear Roller
Way. A special grease can be pre-packed by specifying "Specified grease" of the special specification on
page 90. For the interval and amount of grease replenishment, see "General description".

Parts for lubrication
Linear Way and Linear Roller Way are provided with a grease nipple or oil hole for grease replenishment.
Table 7 shows parts for lubrication applicable to each series. However, Linear Way L Ball Non-retained type is
not provided with a grease nipple or oil hole. For re-lubrication of this type, apply grease directly to the
raceways of the track rail.
