This is a special PMI design dust protection seal for special application especially for wood working machines. One of the feature is that the size of seal is same as the normal seal but the effectiveness is double compared to it. Below is the image showing its structure.

Cover Strip:

A special designed of cover strip is used to cover the bolt hole to prevent the foreign matters from entering the carriage. This is a stainless steel material stip which also prevents rusting for a long amount of time. Cover strips come in different sizes depending on the rail dimensions, and the best feature is that it is very easy to install. Below is a reference image for your understanding.

SL Lubricator:

This is an oil reserviour which is equipped with a high-density fiber net. Through this fiber net the lubricant can be steadily fed onto the surface of raceway to satisfy the required lubricating function. Generally this kits are use when there is no possibility of providing an external lubrication to the LM Rail. The features include – lengthening the interval between maintenance of blocks, reduction in cost, prevents pollution, and enables the most suitable oil for the purpose of use.

Lubrication Setting:

Generally we know there are 2 types of lubricants used viz. grease and oil. In order to provide a lubrication we need a specific connector.
