*1 Grease film may run out if the actuator is moved back and forth continuously over a distance of 30 mm or
less. As a guide, perform a back-and-forth operation five times or so over a distance of 50 mm or more
after a back-and-forth operation over such short distance has been repeated 5,000 to 10,000 times. This
will restore oil film.
4.2
External Visual Inspection
An external visual inspection should check the following things.
Main unit
Loose actuator mounting bolts, other loose items
Cables
Scratches, proper connections
Stainless sheet
Scratches
Overall
Irregular noise, vibration
Ɣ As a rule of thumb, the stainless sheet should last for about 5000 km of slider motion.
However, under certain conditions, the stainless sheet may need to be replaced earlier.
Generally, replacing the stainless sheet will require that you bring the unit to our plant or have one of our
technicians come to your plant to perform the replacement.
Ɣ If the actuator is installed vertically, certain conditions may cause grease to drip from the guide. Please
ensure that proper cleaning is performed and grease is replenished.
4.3
Cleaning
Ɣ Clean exterior surfaces as necessary.
Ɣ Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt and buildup.
Ɣ Do not blow too hard with compressed air as it may cause dust to get in through the gaps.
Ɣ Do not use oil-based solvents as they can harm lacquered and painted surfaces.
Ɣ To remove severe buildup, wipe gently with a soft cloth soaked in a neutral detergent or alcohol.
