10. Maintenance and Inspection
10.1 Inspection Items and Schedule
Perform maintenance and inspection at the schedules specified below.
This schedule assumes 8 hours of operation a day.
If the actuator is operated continuously day and night or at a higher utilization rate, shorten the inspection
intervals according to the situation.
Visual inspection
of exterior
Inspection
of interior
Greasing *1
Startup inspection {
1 month after startup {
6 months after startup { {
12 months after startup { { {
Every 6 months thereafter {
Every 12 months { { {
*1 If the actuator is operated back and forth repeatedly over a distance of 30 mm or less, the oil film created by
the grease may be broken. As a rough guide, move the actuator back and forth five times or so over a
distance of 50 mm or more after every 5000 to 10000 cycles. This will restore oil film. (If your ROBO Cylinder
has a stroke of less than 50 mm, move the actuator back and forth over a distance corresponding to the
entire stroke.)
10.2 Visual Inspection of the Exterior
In the visual inspection of exterior, check the following items.
Actuator Loose actuator mounting bolts, etc.
Cables Scratches, connection at connectors
Spiral cover Scratches, dents, foreign attachments
Overall Abnormal noise, vibration
x The spiral cover is a consumable part. As a rough guide, expect it to last for 2 million cycles. For the method to
replace the spiral cover, refer to 10.7, “How to Replace the Spiral Cover.”
(Note) The life of the spiral cover varies significantly depending on the use environment. If foreign matter (dust
or highly viscous oil) attaches to the surface of the spiral cover, the cover can no longer
expand/contract and its life will be reduced. So that the spiral cover will last longer, clean the surface of
the cover on a regular basis.
