Axis Lubrication Systems - Identification

Introduction

This document tells you how to identify the (5) types of axis lubrication systems. For more detailed information on each system, click a title in the table below.

Axis Lubrication Systems
  Bijur Mechanical-Oil Pump High Pressure Grease Restrictor Flow Grease Non-Restrictor Grease Haas Liquid Grease
Lubrication Fluid DTE25, Vactra, and SHC625 oils. Mobil XHP 221 grease.

Mobil SHC007 grease.

Mobil SHC007 grease.

 Haas Liquid Grease - P/N 93-2196.
Lubrication Cycle Activation 30 minutes of axis movement. 1000 meters of axis movement.

1000 meters of axis movement or 24 hours of axis movement.

1000 meters of axis movement or 24 hours of axis movement.

24 hours of axis movement.
Restrictors Uses metering units. Yes Yes No Yes
Pump Type/PSI Single stroke electric gear motor. Pneumatic grease pump. Pressurized air over grease. Pressurized air over grease. Pressurized air over grease.
Pressure Switch or Pressure Sensor Oil pressure sensor located at Bijur mechanical-oil pump. This system uses a pressure switch.                 This systems uses a pressure switch. Pressure switch located on the main distribution manifold. Pressure switch located on the main distribution manifold.
Level Switch Non-adjustable fluid level switch in oil reservoir. N/A N/A N/A N/A
The copper tubes and flexible plastic tubing are equal length. No Yes No Yes See detailed information.

Bijur Mechanical - Oil Pump

Note: The location of the Bijuir mechanical-oil pump is different on some machines.

The Bijur mechanical-oil pump axis-lubrication system is under the control cabinet. For more information on this system, refer to the Axis Lubrication Systems - Bijur - Mechanical - Oil Pump.

High Pressure Grease

Note: The location of the pump is different on some machines.

The high pressure axis lubrication system is adjacent to the control cabinet, inside the air-lubrication cabinet. For more information on this system, refer to the Axis Lubrication Sysytem - Minimal Lubrication System - High Pressure.

Restrictor Flow Grease

Note: The location of the grease reservoir is different on some machines.

Note: There is no grease pressure gage on this system.

The restrictor flow axis-lubrication system is adjacent to the control cabinet inside the air-lubrication cabinet. For more information on this system, refer to the Axis Lubrication Sysytem - Minimal Lubrication System - Restrictor.

Non-Restrictor Flow Grease

Note: The location of the grease reservoir is different on some machines.

Note: There is no grease pressure gage on this system.

The non-restrictor flow system is adjacent to the control cabinet, inside the air-lubrication cabinet. For more information on this system, refer to the Axis Lubrication System - Minimal Lubrication System - Non-Restrictor Flow.

Haas Liquid Grease

Note: This systems has a grease pressure gauge [1] located next to the grease reservoir.

The Haas Liquid Grease lubrication system is adjacent to the control cabinet, inside the air-lubrication cabinet. For more information on this system, refer to the Axis Lubrication System - Minimal Lubrication System - Haas Liquid Grease.
