Should linear guides be cleaned before installation?

On the surface of the linear guide rail, there will be rust proof oil. We should wash it with clean gasoline, kerosene, and add lubricating grease. They can be installed and used. Cleanliness has a significant impact on the lifespan of linear guides, as well as vibration and noise. However, it is important to remind friends that fully enclosed linear guides should not be cleaned or lubricated.

How to safely and disassemble linear guides?

When installing the linear guide rail, do not directly hammer the end face or non stressed surfaces to ensure uniform force during installation. If lubricating oil is applied during installation, it will be smoother. When encountering difficulties in disassembly, you can use the disassembly tool to pull outward while pouring hot oil above the inner ring.
