Rittal AS 4050.895 lubricant for Perforex MT rack-and-pinion systems, for maintenance

Rittal AS 4050.895 lubricant for Perforex MT rack-and-pinion systems is a maintenance oil formulated to lubricate gear racks in Perforex MT machinery. Supplied as a single unit, this lubricant is intended to support smooth movement, reduce friction and wear, and maintain consistent performance of rack-and-pinion drives in industrial automation and metalworking equipment.

Advantages

This lubricant is compatible with Perforex MT rack-and-pinion systems and is intended to provide reliable boundary and mixed-film lubrication for metal gear teeth. It helps reduce metal-to-metal contact, prevent premature wear, and can contribute to quieter operation. The product is supplied ready for application and designed to withstand the operating conditions typical for industrial rack-and-pinion assemblies.

Suitable for

• Routine maintenance of Perforex MT rack-and-pinion systems in production lines
• Lubrication of gear racks in metalworking machinery and CNC equipment
• Industrial automation applications where consistent rack movement is required
• Preventive maintenance programs to extend the service life of rack-and-pinion components

When it may not be suitable

This lubricant is formulated specifically for Perforex MT rack-and-pinion systems and may not be optimal for non-rack gear types, open gears with heavy contamination, or applications requiring food-grade or medical-grade lubricants. For installations exposed to unusual chemicals, extremely high temperatures, or submerged conditions, consult manufacturer guidance or select a lubricant specified for those environments.

Key specifications

• Intended use: lubrication of rack-and-pinion (rack) systems
• Formulation: maintenance lubricant / oil suitable for metal gear teeth
• Packaging: single unit supply for maintenance use
• Application environment: industrial automation and metalworking machinery

How to use

Clean the rack and pinion surfaces to remove heavy contamination, metal chips or old lubricant residues before application. Apply the lubricant evenly along the gear rack teeth and mating pinion surfaces according to the maintenance intervals recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Reapply as part of routine preventive maintenance or when increased friction, noise, or visible wear is detected. Dispose of used rags and waste lubricant in accordance with local regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your Perforex MT rack-and-pinion model and the equipment manufacturer's maintenance instructions
• Verify that the lubricant grade meets temperature and load conditions of your application
• Consider workplace requirements such as contamination control, cleaning intervals, and environmental regulations

Usage recommendations

Use this lubricant as part of a scheduled maintenance plan: inspect racks periodically, maintain a clean lubrication point, and avoid over-application which can attract debris. For special operating conditions, refer to Rittal documentation or technical support to ensure optimal selection and application.
