| As a standard feature, all HS series slides are arranged with porting and oil grooving for acceptance of an automatic or manual lubrication system. • Drawing 'A' illustrates the standard oil grooving in the saddle. • Drawing 'B' illustrates the standard internal porting to the keepers, gib, rails and (optional) ballnut. • The type of lubricant recommended for both automatic and manual systems is Mobil Vactra #2 Way Oil or an equivalent. (Do not use grease). • Lube Port #6 is required only on those industrial slide assemblies having ballscrew drive packages. • Saddle lengths that exceed 15" will require (1) additional port at each plane of lubrication. In these cases when computing the amount of bearing area that must be lubricated use 1/2 the saddle length for each port. • Saddles with tapered gibs require (1) additional #3 port. In these cases when computing the amount of bearing area that must be lubricated use 1/2 the saddle length for each port. |
