USE AND MAINTENANCE

■ Lubrication When using MGB it is necessary to provide effective lubrication. Using the product without lubrication may increase wear on the rolling elements and shorten the service life. A lubricant has effects such as the following. □ Minimizes friction on moving elements to prevent seizure and reduce wear. □ Forms an oil film on the raceway to decrease stress acting on the surface and extend rolling fatigue life. □ Covers metal surfaces with an oil fi lm to prevent the formation of rust. To optimize an MGB Guide’s functionality, it is necessary to provide lubrication according to the operating conditions. We recommend the use of a lithium based lubricant NLGI Class 2 for lubrication. Below are some reference property.
