Position of the lubrication points

Beckhoff recommends that the lubrication points be positioned as close as possible to a curved segment in order to provide sufficient lubricant to the curved segments. The positioning of the lubrication points is therefore dependent on the direction of travel of the movers.

The motor module with lubrication channel AT2000-0250-0006 [1] should be mounted directly in front of a curved segment [2].

If a motor module with infeed [2] is already installed in front of the curved segment [1], the motor module with lubrication channel [3] can also be installed as a second module before the mover enters the curve.
