What are the precautions for using linear guides?

1. Prevent linear guide rails from rusting

When holding the linear guide rail directly with your hands, wash off the sweat on your hands and apply good quality mineral oil before replacing them. Pay special attention to rust prevention during the rainy season and summer.

2. Keep the linear guide operating environment clean

Keep the linear guide and its surrounding environment clean. Even if tiny dust invisible to the naked eye enters the guide, it will increase the wear, vibration and noise of the guide.

3. Install linear guide rails carefully.

Linear guides must be carefully used and installed. Vigorous stamping is not allowed, the guide rail is not allowed to be directly struck with a hammer, and pressure is not allowed to be transmitted through rolling elements.

4. The linear guide rail installation tools must be suitable

Use appropriate and accurate installation tools for linear guides. Use special tools as much as possible, and try to avoid using things like cloth and short fibers.
