Lubrication Solutions for Precision Motion Applications
Select lubrication by component, motion profile and operating condition — not by grease type alone.
TRG specialty greases are designed for precision motion applications where friction, wear, temperature, contamination and motion stability directly affect machine performance.
What Are You Lubricating?
Different motion components create different lubrication demands.
Linear Guides
Manage sliding resistance and fretting wear in rolling contact.
Ball Screws
Control temperature and torque in high-speed rotary-to-linear conversion.
Linear Modules
Ensure stable motion across integrated guide and screw systems.
Robotics & Cartesian
Reliable lubrication for repetitive, multi-axis operation.
CNC & Machine Tools
Protect components under load, speed, and coolant exposure.
Precision Automation
Contamination-sensitive and precision positioning environments.
Lubrication for Linear Guides
Reduce friction, wear and motion instability across different speeds, loads and stroke conditions.
Common Issues
- • Sliding resistance
- • Fretting wear under short stroke
- • High-speed heat generation
- • Water or coolant exposure
- • Grease separation
- • Low-dust requirements
Typical Applications
- • Automation equipment
- • Pick-and-place systems
- • CNC machinery
- • Inspection equipment
- • Semiconductor equipment
Candidate TRG Series
Engineering Note: Short-stroke and micro-motion applications require particular attention to fretting wear and lubricant film stability.
Lubrication for Ball Screws
Manage torque, temperature, wear and load under precision rotary-to-linear motion.
Key Challenges
- • High-speed heat generation
- • Running torque
- • Heavy-load contact
- • Mechanical stability
- • Wide-speed operation
Typical Applications
- • CNC machine tools
- • Linear stages
- • Assembly equipment

Candidate TRG Series
- FN Ⅰ Low-friction applications
- FN Ⅱ Heavy-duty and EP applications
- FN Ⅲ Short-stroke / fretting-sensitive
- FN Ⅵ High-speed and low-heat applications
- FN Ⅶ Wide-speed operation
Lubrication for Linear Modules
Support stable motion across integrated guide, screw and actuator systems.
Linear modules often combine ball screws, linear guides, seals, motors and compact mechanical structures. Lubricant selection can influence motion resistance, motor load, temperature rise, positioning stability, and service intervals.
Key Applications
- • Single-axis modules
- • XY / XYZ systems
- • Gantry systems
- • Automation actuators
Candidates
Note: Final selection depends on speed, load, stroke, temperature and existing grease compatibility.
Lubrication for Robotics & Cartesian Systems
Reliable lubrication for repetitive motion, multi-axis operation and long production cycles.
Common Issues
- • Continuous repetitive motion
- • High acceleration
- • Short-stroke positioning
- • Multiple lubrication points
Candidates
- FN Ⅰ Low friction
- FN Ⅲ Fretting resistance
- FN Ⅵ High speed
- FN Ⅶ Wide speed range
Lubrication for CNC & Machine Tools
Protect precision motion components under load, speed, vibration and demanding machining environments.
Key Challenges
- • Heavy load & Vibration
- • Coolant / Water exposure
- • High-speed ball screw motion
- • Mechanical stability
Candidates
- FN Ⅱ Heavy-duty / EP
- FN Ⅲ Fretting resistance
- FN Ⅵ High-speed screws
- FN Ⅶ Wide-speed operation
Engineering Note: Machine-tool lubrication must consider coolant exposure and compatibility with seals, existing grease and centralized lubrication practices.
Lubrication for Semiconductor & Precision Electronics Equipment
Lubrication for contamination-sensitive and precision positioning environments.
Key Focus Areas
- • Particle generation / Low dust
- • Stable rolling resistance
- • Micro-motion & Positioning
- • Long-term consistency
Candidates
- FN Ⅳ Low-Dust Applications
- FN Ⅴ Stable-Torque Low-Dust Grease
Lubrication for Precision Automation
Match grease performance to the real motion profile of the machine.
Precision automation can contain multiple lubrication conditions within one machine.
Select Grease by Operating Condition
The same component may require a different grease under a different motion profile.
High Speed
Heavy Load
Short Stroke / Micro
Low Friction
Low Dust
Water Exposure
Wide Temperature
Wide Speed Range
