Automatic lubrication system

Guideways, racks, and pinions can be lubricated by an optional automatic lubrication system. Depending on customer needs and integration requirements, the selected system reduces the downtimes of the overall plant.
Güdel provides documents for installation, integration, and operation. Orientation aids for lubricants, lubrication interval, cycle, or quantity, help to ensure an adequate lubricating film.

The FlexxPump automatic lubrication system is a lubrication system for Güdel components. The FlexxPump feeds the lubricant from the cartridge into the lines. Depending on the design, the lubricant is distributed through splitters, combined through Y-segments, or distributed directly to the lubrication areas. Rack and pinions are lubricated by lubricating pinions; guideways are lubricated by lubricating elements.

Standard lubricant
Güdel H1 high-performance lubrication oil with viscosity  4000 [mm2/s] at +40°C. Food grade with H1 approval. NSF registration number 146621. In cartridges of 400 [ml].

Independent installation position

The toothed-wheel pump aggregate with container serves to supply lubricant to the central lubrication at systems.
For regular lubricant dispensing, the toothed-wheel pump aggregate has to be controlled by a PLC. To this end, a pulse rhythm needs to be sent for every lubrication cycle, by means of a control signal.

Standard lubricant
 NLGI classes 000 and 00.
Container content of 1000 [ml].
