Improve the supply capacity of lubricating oil and extend the maintenance cycle of machinery ~ Nippon Seiko Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NSK) sold the lubrication unit NSK K1™ for linear guides in the industry for the first time in 1996, making a great contribution to the long-term maintenance-free of machinery and equipment . This time, in response to the maintenance-free requirements of smart factories, NSK has developed a new lubrication unit NSK K1-L that can greatly improve the supply capacity of lubricating oil. NSK expects to start selling this product from December 2019. ▲ Development background of NSK K1-L lubrication unit for NSK New Linear Guide™ As a linear motion guiding part of a machine, lubrication is very important to maintain its performance for a long time. It is not only necessary to reduce the burden on users caused by lubrication maintenance, but also to reduce the frequency of equipment stoppages caused by maintenance and improve production efficiency. Since 1996, NSK took the lead in developing and selling the lubrication unit NSK K1, which can provide lubricating oil for linear guides for a long time. Over the past 20 years, it has contributed to the long-term maintenance-free of machinery. In addition, the clean lubrication method also improves the use environment. With the development of smart factories in recent years, the call for extending the maintenance cycle is getting louder. In addition, from the environmental point of view, the requirements for energy saving and environmental protection are getting higher and higher. In order to meet these demands, NSK has developed a new lubrication unit, NSK K1-L, which can significantly increase the lubrication supply capacity. Features of the developed product 1. Significantly improved lubrication supply capacity The lubrication unit NSK K1 is made of resin containing a large amount of lubricating oil, and the internal lubricating oil can continuously ooze out to supply lubricating oil to the linear guide for a long time. The new lubrication unit NSK K1-L adopts a newly developed material, and the lubrication supply time has been increased to about twice that of the existing product. 2. Reduce dynamic friction The lubrication unit NSKK1-L optimizes the contact structure with the guide rail, and the dynamic friction when the slider is driven is reduced by about 20%. 3. Equipped with NSK K1-L shell to protect NSK K1-L to prevent damage and external foreign matter intrusion.
