Sealing and lubrication elements
Sealing and lubrication elements – system KIT
With their extensive range of standard accessories, the linear guidance systems can be easily used in numerous areas. Since the guidance systems are used in an extremely wide variety of applications, however, additional requirements are often placed on the sealing and lubrication components.
Application-oriented complete package
If the standard components are not adequate for reliable operation and a long operating life, it is possible to draw on a finely graduated system of sealing and lubrication elements. These special accessories protect the rolling element system of the guidance systems against contamination and ensure long relubrication intervals even under the most demanding operating conditions.
KIT structure
The elements are configured as the system KIT and are designed for various application conditions.
Starting from the degree of contamination, the best combination in each case can be quickly and easily compiled:
- Possible combinations, see link and link
- Description of sealing elements, see link
- Description of lubrication elements, see link
- Overview of lubrication elements, see link.
ACHTUNG
Only a proportion of the KITs can be retrofitted. Parts that cannot be retrofitted must be ordered together with the linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assembly and are supplied already fitted.
Degree of contamination
The degree of contamination will vary depending on the market sector, the application and the environmental conditions.
ACHTUNG
The definitions at this point, see table, are therefore only an initial aid in the selection of KITs.
Definition of the degree of contamination
Degree of contamination | |||
---|---|---|---|
Very slight | Slight | Moderate | Heavy ** |
Clean environment. | Coarse (large) metal swarf Clean environment No cooling lubricants. | Coarse (large) metal swarf Slight | Hot swarf Aggressive media and dust as well as cooling lubricants. |
**If this degree of contamination is present, a KIT can give only a restricted level of protection. Additional measures implemented by the customer, such as additional covers on the guidance system, will give a considerable increase in the operating life.
Sealing elements
Additional sealing elements are available both for open upper lubrication holes as well as for closed upper lubrication holes:
End plates
End plates are corrosion-resistant, non-contact components, ➤ Figure. They protect the end wipers located behind them against, for example, coarse contaminants and hot swarf. There is a narrow gap between the guideway and the seal.
A KIT.RWU..-E always contains an end plate.

KIT.RWU..-210


non-contact
End wipers
End wipers are contact seals that are fixed to the end faces of the carriages. End wipers protect the guidance system against the ingress of contaminant particles and can extend the relubrication intervals. The selection of the suitable sealing system is based on the application of the guidance system. End wipers are available in single lip and double lip designs (double lip as standard) and are made from special high performance materials, ➤ Figure.
Single lip end wipers have a seal lip oriented outwards that protects the carriage against the ingress of contaminant particles. In combination with oil lubrication, the single lip end wiper facilitates the rinsing out of contaminant particles (flushing effect).
Double lip end wipers have one seal lip oriented outwards and one seal lip oriented inwards. The seal lip oriented inwards prevents the escape of lubricant from the carriage, which means that an increase in the relubrication interval can be achieved. Double lip end wipers are recommended for use with grease lubrication (reservoir lubrication).

Sealing strips
Sealing strips are contact components that are fitted to the upper and lower longitudinal sides of the carriage, ➤ Figure. They protect the rolling element system against contamination and loss of lubricant.
Single lip and double lip
Linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies are supplied with a single lip upper sealing strip as well as a double lip lower sealing strip.
ACHTUNG
Sealing strips should be used in addition to end wipers especially in applications where contamination is critical, such as those involving fine dust or aggressive coolants.

Lubrication elements
The following components are available:
- End piece with closed off upper relubrication hole, ➤ Figure
- Long term lubrication unit KIT series 400, see link
- Minimal lubricant quantity metering unit, KIT series 500, see link
- Lubricant quantity metering valves SMDS , see link
- Lubrication adapter plate KIT series 600, see link.
End piece with closed upper relubrication hole
The designation of the KITs can also be used to order end pieces of the carriage with a closed upper relubrication hole (end number -..3), ➤ Figure.
ACHTUNG
KITs for minimal lubricant quantity metering units do not have an upper relubrication hole. At the time of ordering, it should be determined which KITs are required.
End piece with closed off upper relubrication hole KIT.RWU..-..3


Long term lubrication unit KIT series 400
For linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies RUE..-E, KITs with a long term lubrication unit are available.
Operating life of the linear guidance system
The operating life is defined as the life actually achieved by a linear guidance system. This may deviate significantly, however, from the basic rating life.
A sufficiently long operating life is only achieved, assuming the bearing arrangement is correctly designed, through optimum lubrication and sealing. This can be achieved using the long term lubrication unit, ➤ Figure.
Grease operating life and relubrication interval
If guidance systems cannot be relubricated, the grease operating life becomes the decisive factor. This indicates the length of time for which a grease can be used without its function being impaired.
As the load increases, the grease is subjected to increasing strain. As a result, it ages more quickly. Premature destruction of the grease structure has an adverse effect on the performance characteristics of the grease. The grease operating life declines and relubrication must be carried out earlier.
If the shortened relubrication intervals are not observed, the guidance system will fail before the end of the expected operating life. With decreasing grease operating life, the operating life of the linear guidance system is thus reduced.
Longer operating life by means of a long term lubrication unit
The volume of grease in the carriage is increased by the lubrication pockets in the saddle plate. If a long term lubrication unit of KIT series 400 is also fitted, this gives an additional improvement in the lubricant balance, ➤ Figure. The lubricant is stored in a high capacity reservoir and continuously released to the raceways via a transfer medium. Depending on the operating and environmental conditions, it is possible to achieve long relubrication intervals or even complete freedom from maintenance.
Function irrespective of position
Long term lubrication units are particularly suitable in applications where lubrication is of critical importance. They are screw mounted between the end piece and the wiper and function with equal reliability in either a horizontal or vertical mounting position.
Long term lubrication unit






With initial greasing
Due to their initial greasing, long term lubrication units are ready for immediate operation. If they are ordered together with an RUE, the RUE and long term lubrication unit are greased.
ACHTUNG
If the long term lubrication unit is retrofitted, it is absolutely essential that the carriage has an initial greasing.
The long term lubrication unit must always be used on both sides of the carriage, in order to achieve the stated bearing factor KLF and thus the maximum operating life.
Double lip end seal
Integrated double lip end seals give protection against grease loss and contamination.
Minimal lubricant quantity metering unit KIT series 500
The lubricant metering device is screw mounted to the end face of the carriage and can be connected to all conventional central lubrication systems.
The piston distributors in the aluminium body lubricate all four raceways evenly, irrespective of position, economically and with the smallest possible quantities of precisely metered lubricant.
The lubrication is fed in from the side via one line. The pressure must be measured directly at the metering unit:
Pressure ranges for oil
- pmin = 6 bar (minimum pressure for initiation of a lubrication impulse)
- pmax = 38 bar.
In idle mode, the pressure level present must not exceed 0,5 bar.
Pressure ranges for flowable grease
- pmin = 12 bar (minimum pressure for initiation of a lubrication impulse)
- pmax = 38 bar. .
Coupling piece
The coupling piece for connection to the central lubrication system has a union nut similar to DIN 3871-A, is fitted on the left or right side of the metering unit and is suitable for connecting pipes with an outside diameter of 4 mm.
ACHTUNG
In the case of RUE..-E-H and RUE..-E-HL, the lubrication connector protrudes laterally approx. 9 mm from the carriage.
Minimal lubricant quantity metering unit KIT.RWU..-500



End piece
The lubrication adapter plate SMVT for the minimal lubricant quantity metering unit differs from the lubrication adapter plate for a carriage of standard design.
If the minimal lubricant quantity metering unit is to be fitted by the customer, the lubrication adapter plate included in the scope of delivery must always be replaced. The lubrication adapter plate must be replaced very carefully, taking account of the mounting manual MON 41.
Lubricant and metering quantities
The lubricant quantity is determined by the number of lubrication impulses. The metering unit is supplied with metering quantities of 0,03 cm3 per impulse and metering unit. A metering unit contains four metering elements.
Suitable lubricants
Oils CLP to DIN 55517 and HLP to DIN 51524 should be used in preference.
At operating temperatures between 0 °C and +70 °C, the viscosity should be between ISO VG 32 and ISO VG 68.
When using oil, the permissible viscosity range is from 20 to 2 000 mm²/s (cSt). A 25 µm oil filter is recommended.
Flowable greases of the NLGI grade 00 and 000 are used for operation of the minimal lubricant quantity metering unit.
The maximum operating temperature is +80 °C.
Lubricant quantity metering valves
Lubricant quantity metering valves for oil lubrication
The lubricant quantity metering valves SMDS are, when supplied with oil as the lubricant, an economical solution for reducing lubricant consumption while also achieving high functional security.
Optimum lubricant supply
The lubricant quantity metering valves replace the conventional O rings in the return guides of the rolling element return channels. The lubricant quantity metering valves exactly fit the position of the O rings and replace these while retaining the design envelope of the carriage, ➤ Figure.
Lubricant quantity metering valves SMDS

The metering valves seal off the lubrication ducts and only open during the lubrication impulse. Between the lubrication impulses, the lubricant quantity metering valves prevent the lubrication ducts from running dry irrespective of position. This and the uniform opening pressure facilitate an optimum supply of lubricant.
Lubricant distribution
Where the mounting position is at an angle of 90° (wall mounting), the lubricant quantity metering valves offer an optimum supply of lubricant.
If the lubrication ducts are initially filled with oil, the lubricant quantity metering valves seal off the lubrication ducts, thus preventing the ducts from running dry, and support the optimum and uniform supply of lubricant to the rows of rolling elements. The lubricant quantity metering valves give effective prevention of damage to the raceways and rolling elements up to failure of the guidance system.
Lubricant consumption
A linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assembly RUE35-E with a load ratio C/P = 4 and a velocity of 2 m/s can, with the aid of the lubricant quantity metering valves, save approx. 0,025 cm3 of lubricant per hour in comparison with the standard design while using an identical design envelope.
Design
The guidance systems must be ordered for delivery with the lubricant quantity metering valves, for example RUE35-E-SMDS-L. Retrofitting by the customer is not possible. The delivery of RUE..-E includes a mounting set M-Satz. This M-Satz contains one lubrication connector. The use of SMDS does not require a further lubrication connector. One lubrication connector per carriage is sufficient. Optionally, other lubrication connectors are available, see link.
Lubrication adapter plate KIT series 600
The lubrication adapter plate is screwed to the end face of the carriage. It comprises an aluminium body with integrated lubrication ducts and, on each side, 2 lateral threads M6. The useful thread length is max. 8 mm for accommodating the lubrication connectors. Depending on the design, connectors for manual lubricators or central lubrication systems and screw plugs are already fitted.
Contact surface for bellows
The screw heads for locating the lubrication adapter plate and the screw plug for sealing off the end face relubrication adapter plate are arranged countersunk in the body of the lubrication adapter plate. This gives a flat contact surface on the end face of the carriage, which can be used as an interface for the location of fasteners such as bellows.
Lubrication adapter plate KIT series 600







Configuration of KIT.RWU
Unless indicated otherwise, the locating face is defined as being at the top. The KIT designation is given in the sequence left/centre/right. If no KIT numbers are indicated, the standard version will be supplied, see link.
KIT components can be fitted on the left, centre and right of the carriage, ➤ Figure.
Example of KIT configuration





Retrofitting by the customer
The KITs available for retrofitting by the customer are indicated accordingly as retrofittable in the KIT tables, see link.
KIT left, right
The KIT components are identical for all carriage designs, with the exception of KIT series 500. The KIT end number -..3 describes the closed upper relubrication hole in the end piece, ➤ Figure. The end piece (lubrication distributor plate) is not a KIT component, so the KIT end number -..3 is not taken into consideration in retrofitting by the customer.
KIT components for retrofitting by the customer must be ordered for all types and designs using the designation KIT.RWU..-E as well as the suffix -OS and the KIT end number -..0.
The scope of delivery includes the wear components and fixing screws required for retrofitting.
Example: KIT.RWU35-E-OS-340.
ACHTUNG
This procedure excludes the lubrication elements KIT series 500 and KIT series 600.
In the case of KIT series 500, there is no upper relubrication hole. The height of the carriage must be taken into consideration and the end piece must be replaced.
In the case of KIT series 600, the upper relubrication hole is not taken into consideration and the suffix -OS must be added.
KIT centre
If retrofitting is to be carried out by the customer, attention must be paid to the carriage length.
KIT components for retrofitting by the customer of long carriages must be ordered using the designation KIT.RWU..-E-L.
Example: KIT.RWU35-E-L-930.

ACHTUNG
The table is only intended as a guide. Specific application conditions must be taken into consideration when selecting the elements.
The sealing and lubrication elements KIT can be combined flexibly.
**In the case of retrofitting by the customer, the suffix OS must be stated. The condition of the upper relubrication hole is not taken into consideration. The KIT end number is always -..0. See Retrofitting by the customer, link.
Ordering example: KIT.RWU35-E-OS-100.
**In the KIT series 500, there is no upper relubrication hole. These KITs are supplied together with special end pieces (lubrication adapter plate), see mounting manual MON 41. The carriage can only be lubricated by means of the minimal lubricant quantity metering unit. If retrofitting is to be carried out by the customer, see link.
**Standard for RUE..-E.
