The Bosch Rexroth LUBRICATING UNIT 15 (R161912500) is a front lubrication unit designed to enhance the performance and longevity of ball rail systems. This unit is specifically tailored for use with Bosch Rexroth's Size H, K, and E profiled rail systems, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration. The lubricating unit boasts the capability of allowing a travel distance of up to 20,000 km without the need for relubrication, thanks to its efficient design that requires only initial lubrication with grease. With a construction that includes a special plastic material, the LUBRICATING UNIT 15 is durable and reliable. It features front lube units on both sides of the ball runner block which significantly reduces lubricant loss and oil consumption. The innovative design ensures that lubrication is primarily distributed where it's most needed—directly on the running tracks and top surface of the ball guide rail. The unit comes pre-filled with Mobil SHC oil (for certain models), facilitating immediate use after basic lubrication of the Ball Runner Block. For models that are shipped empty, refilling is straightforward via the lube nipple located on either endface or at the side of the unit. Additionally, this product supports an operating temperature range up to 100°C and has a tightening torque specification for secure mounting. Overall, Bosch Rexroth's LUBRICATING UNIT 15 stands out as a vital accessory for profiled rail systems used in linear motion applications. Its ability to minimize maintenance requirements while ensuring optimal performance makes it an essential component for any system requiring precise linear movement with extended maintenance intervals.

Prior to assembling the front lube units, initial lubrication of the Ball Runner Blocks with grease lubricant is required! See Ball Rail Systems - General technical notes and information, chapter "Maintenance".
Assembly of front lube units – note for mounting
The parts required for mounting are included (coated screws, seal and lube nipple).
In each case, mount a front lube unit (Picture, Pos.3) on each side of the Ball Runner Block!
Do not pull the Ball Runner Block out of the Ball Guide Rail!
Ball Runner Block up to size 45:
The enclosed lubrication pin (2) must be installed between the lube plate and the Ball Runner Block! (It contains a lube port.)
Remove the set screws (1). Screw in lubrication pin (2). Slide on front lube units (3). Insert O-rings (5) between Ball Runner Block and front lube units. Tighten screws (4) with tightening torque MA Tighten according to the table (see below).
Ball Runner Block from size 55:
Slide on front lube units (3). Remove set screws (1) and insert O-rings (5) between Ball Runner Block and front lube units. Tighten screws (4) with tightening torque MA Tighten according to the table (see below).

Initial filling of a front lube unit without oil
Remove set screw from the lube port (Fig. 1, item 1) and keep for later use. Tighten lube nipple (2). Lay front lube unit (3) down flat, fill with oil quantity according to table (see below), leave unused for approximately 36 hours. Check whether the lubricant insert is fully soaked with oil. Add oil if necessary. Remove lube nipple. Screw in set screw For size 20 Low: Place front lube units in 10 mm-deep oil for about 36 hours (see Fig. 2).

Fig. 2
Recommended lubricating oil for initial filling:
Mobil SHC 639 (viscosity 1000 mm2/s at 40 °C)If any oil other than the one specified is used, check the compatibility of lubricants and observe travel distance!

Relubrication of the front lube units
Once the relubrication interval has been reached according to the diagram (see below), apply the relubrication quantity shown in the table "Oil quantity for initial filling of a front lube unit without oil in cm3" (see chapter "Commissioning").
Relubrication is possible via the lateral lube port. The front lube unit size 20 Low is not refillable via the lube port (see chapter "Commissioning", Fig. 2).
Note
After no more than 3 years Rexroth recommends replacing the front lube units and re-lubricating the Ball Runner Block prior to assembly of the new front lube unit.
Relubrication of the Ball Runner Block
Under clean operating conditions, the Ball Runner Block end faces can be re-lubricated with grease (Dynalub 510).
Relubrication of the Ball Runner Block with grease lubricant see section on lubrication.
Attention:
If other lubricants are used, this may lead to a reduction in lubrication intervals, performance losses with short-stroke applications and load capacities. Possible chemical interactions between the plastic materials, lubricants and preservative oils must also be taken into account. The recommended lubrication intervals depend on environmental factors, load and load type. Examples of environmental factors include swarf, mineral abrasion (or similar), solvent and temperature. Examples of loads and stress types are oscillations, shocks and tilting. The manufacturer is not familiar with the operating conditions. Only the user's own trials and accurate monitoring can yield safety across lubrication intervals. No water-based coolant/lubricant is permitted on the Ball Runner Blocks and Ball Guide Rails!
Load-dependent lubrication intervals for Ball Runner Blocks with front lube units
This applies for the following conditions:
Ball Runner Block lubricants: Dynalub 510 (NLGI 2 grease) or, alternatively, Castrol Longtime PD 2 (NLGI 2 grease) Front lube unit lubricants: Mobil SHC 639 (synthetic oil) Maximum speed: vmax. = 2 m/s No exposure to media Standard seals (SS) Ambient temperature: T = 20 – 30 °C
Definition Fcomb/C
The load ratio Fcomb/C describes the quotient form the equivalent dynamic load with combined load on bearing Fcomb (when considering the internal pre-tensioning force Fpr) and the dynamic load rating C.
