Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for clean rails, smooth motion, and controlled maintenance.
How much lubricant should I use?
Apply a thin, controlled film. Add a second light pass only when the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation calls for it.
Where should I apply it?
Target rails, rods, guides, and other motion surfaces—not belts, brakes, sensors, or electrical contacts.
How often should I reapply?
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s interval. Reapply after cleaning, during scheduled maintenance, or when noise and drag increase.
What is in the ViscoMotion Precision Rail Lubricant Pen?
Each 5 mL applicator is designed to place ISO VG 68 lubricant in a thin, controlled layer on appropriate motion surfaces.
Can I use it on any machine?
Always follow your equipment manufacturer’s lubrication guidance first. When in doubt, confirm the recommended lubricant and application points for your specific machine.
