  • Lubricants suitable for "linear guide"

    increased demand of lubricants due to advanced automation technology

    There is a high demand for linear guides and lubricants in automation technology. A quick and precise positioning and long preservation periods are typical requirements, which can be satisfied by using Lubchem special lubricants. Demand of specialty lubricants and linear guides will be growing rapidly in the automation system.

  • Linear guides used in various industries

    Linear guides in industrial robots, the measurement and control systems, medical diagnostic field

    Mainly linear guides are used in power tools, machining centers, industrial robots, measurement and control systems, and are applied to medical diagnostic scanners. Linear guides have to ensure the smooth operation and precise positioning and repetition and wear-free operation under high shock and static loads and micro-movements. As well as resistance to radiation and aggressive media, at high-speed acceleration, smooth operation is required.

Lubchem lubricants for linear guides

The requirements of new linear guides with automated technology development will appear eventually to an increase in demand for lubricants. Our product portfolio offers right lubricating solutions for linear guides.
