  • Publication number: 20110170809
    Abstract: An automatic lubrication structure of slide mechanism. The automatic lubrication structure includes a guide section, a slide section slidably disposed on the guide section, and a lubricating section fixedly disposed on the guide section. The lubricating section has an oil reservoir with an internal cavity for containing therein a lubricant or the like. The lubricating section further has a communication passage and multiple oil-filling holes formed on lateral sides of the guide section in contact with the slide section. The cavity communicates with the oil-filling holes via the communication passage. The slide section is movable to push a push member for making the lubricant or the like contained in the cavity spill out of the oil-filling holes so as to provide lubrication effect for contact faces between the guide section and the slide section.

  • Patent number: 7614790
    Abstract: A self-lubricating assembly for a linear driving device comprises an oil applying subassembly, an oil transmitting subassembly and an oil container. The oil transmitting subassembly transmits lubricating oil from the oil container to the oil applying subassembly, and the oil applying subassembly is driven by the linear driving device to perform lubricating action automatically. The oil container is provided for storing lubricating oil to prolong lubricating time of the linear driving device.

  • Patent number: 7513336
    Abstract: A lubricating device for a linear guideway, used at either side of the slide block of a linear guideway, comprises: a housing, oil-containing member, magnets and metallic magnetic members. Using a magnetic force to push the oil-containing member against the rail, the magnetic force will not fatigue but will increase with the reduction in distance between the magnets and the metallic magnetic members, therefore, the oil-containing member can be kept in a good contact with the rolling passage of the rail, and the lubricating oil can be continuously transmitted from the oil-containing member to the surface of the rail, thus lubricating the linear guideway automatically without disassembling it.

  • Patent number: 6988517
    Abstract: A linear guideway with quick release oil tanks comprises: a rail, a slide block disposed on the rail, connectors and an oil tank disposed at an ends of the slide block. The oil tanks is “II”-shaped and includes a base portion and two extension portions, a distance between the two extension portions is larger than a maximum width of the rail, and a maximum width of the base portion of the oil tanks is shorter than a distance between an upper surface of the rail and a top surface of the slide block. The connectors each have a connecting portion and an engaging portion, and is axially defined with a through hole, and the oil tanks are defined with an oil outlet for engaging with the engaging portion of the connectors.
