Bosch Rexroth Lubricants Guide

Taken from About this Guide: The reliable operation of linear motion elements depends on selecting the right lubricants for the particular conditions of use.

A lubricant has to reduce friction and wear, provide protection from corrosion and soiling.

Lubricant has a decisive impact on the operation and service life of linear guides. A shortage of lubricant or the use of an unsuitable lubricant are often the cause of linear guide failure.

The choice of suitable lubricants requires careful consideration during the design, operation and servicing of linear guides. It depends above all on the operating temperature range and the environmental and operating conditions at the point of use. Consideration must also be given to the type of lubricant supply.

Most linear motion elements work with grease or oil lubrication. Oil/air lubrication is used in some cases.

This Lubrication Guide is generally valid for all STAR products. No distinction is made, therefore, between models or types. The guide is designed to provide you with fast help in choosing a suitable lubricant for your application.

STAR products can be provided with an initial supply of lubricant to ensure their smooth start-up. It is essential to ensure that these products are relubricated with a medium that is compatible with the initial lubricant.
