NSK Linear Guides for Food Processing and Medical
Equipment in Sanitary Environments

The NSK K1 lubrication unit for food processing and medical equipment is safe and
secure. NSK K1 FDA-compliant material is used for the lubrication unit, so it is used
without anxiety for food processing and medical equipment.

• The NSK K1 lubrication unit for food processing and
medical equipment is a phenomenal new material seal
that is safe and secure.

• The newly developed porous synthetic resin contains
abundant lubricant.

• With the basic functions of highly praised NSK K1 for
general industry, more sophisticated materials make it
applicable in food and medical equipment.

• It also offers easy installation, mounted inside the
standard end seal (rubber).

Features of NSK K1 Lubrication Unit for Food and Medical Equipment

• Very safe to handle
Uses highly safe materials that are compliant with the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) hygiene standards for
food additives.

• Environmentally sound
The newly developed porous synthetic resin provides a controlled supply of lubricant, preventing the dispersion of oil in
sanitary environments.

• Resistant to harsh environments
It is durable not only under normal environments, but also under harsh environments, such as machinery submersed in
water.

Features of NSK Linear Guides for Sanitary Environments

• The highest grade of category H1 grease of USDA standard is used for NSK K1 lubrication unit.

*category H1: Lubricants permitted for use where there is possibility of incidental food contact
*USDA: USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture)

<Features of grease for food processing machines>
• This grease is approved by USDA H1. (National Science Foundation [NSF] carries out certification for USDA.)
• Superb water resistance and antirust capability
• Superb wear resistance
• Applicable for a centralized oiling system

• Appropriate volume of grease
A supply of appropriate volume of grease reduces grease draining and scattering, and maintains a clean environment.
