12.6 Greasing
12.6.1 Applicable Grease
[Lead screw types]
All Lead screw products have been shipped with synthetic poly-ҏD olefin grease applied to the Lead
screw.
IAI uses the following grease in our plant.
Location Manufacturer Model number
Lead screw Sumico Lubricant Co., Ltd. Sumitec 308
Equivalent greases are also available from other manufacturers, but exercise caution when
selecting the grease because the life of the product may be affected.
Warning :
Never use anything other than synthetic poly-D olefin grease. Mixing poly-D grease with other
grease not only reduces the performance of the grease, it may even cause damage to the
actuator.
[Ball screw types]
All ball screw products have been shipped with lithium grease applied to the ball screw.
IAI uses the following grease in our plant.
Location Manufacturer Model number
Ball screw Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. Daphne Eponex Grease No. 2
Warning :
Never use fluorine-based grease. Mixing fluorine-based grease with lithium-based grease not only
reduces the performance of the grease, it may even cause damage to the actuator.
