Main Distribution Manifold

Note: The main distribution manifold appearance may be different on some machines.

1. Main Distribution Manifold - Sends grease to the axis manifolds.
2. Grease Pressure Switch - Monitors the grease system pressure and sends a signal to the control to generate an alarm if the pressure drops below the minimum level too quickly.

Axis Lubrication Cycle

The grease pump (grease-gun style) lubricates the axes at a rate of (1) pump stroke (1.125 ml of grease) for every 1000 meters of axis travel.

Grease moves from the grease pump (grease-gun style) [1] through a nylon tube to the main distribution manifold [2].

Note: For recommended lubricant types, see Lubricant Table for Haas Machine Components.

Grease moves from the main distribution manifold [2] to the axis manifolds [3].

Note: Each axis has (4-6 ) linear guide trucks [4] and (1) ballnut [5].

Grease moves from the axis manifolds through flexible plastic tubing. The flexible plastic tubing sends grease to the linear guide trucks [4] and the ballnut [5].

Note: There is (1) nylon tube that goes to each linear guide truck [4] and (1) nylon tube that goes to the ballnut [5].

Axis Manifold Fitting Information

The high-pressure grease system uses non-restrictor fittings [1] in the axis manifolds. The linear guide trucks use restrictor fittings [2] and adapter fittings [3].

Note: Adapter fittings are smaller than restrictor fittings and do not restrict the flow of grease.

Note: The linear guide trucks on some machines use restrictor fittings [2] and do not have adapter fittings [3] in the linear guide trucks.

Note: The amount of grease supplied to each linear guide truck will not be the same.

Note: The flexible plastic tubing on this system are equal length.

Caution: Do not change the length of any flexible plastic tubing. This changes the flow of grease.
