NSK's Food and Medical K1 Lubrication Units act as a maintenance-free lubricant, and are FDA approved for use in medical devices, where cleanliness and safety are paramount. The units, which allow long-term, maintenance-free operation when used with an NSK ballscrew or linear guide, now feature refined materials that conform to strict standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration.
K1 Lubrication Units incorporate porous synthetic resins that retain a large quantity of lubricating oil to ensure steady application as the unit moves along the rail or shaft surface. The unit's molded design prevents oil from being dispersed into surrounding areas making it especially effective under hygienic conditions. The units are available only on NSK linear motion components.
