12.1 Inspection Items and Intervals
Perform maintenance/inspection according to the following timetable.
The operating time is assumed to be 8 hours a day. If the actuator is used continuously for 24 hours or the
utilization rate is otherwise high, shorten the inspection intervals accordingly.

(Note 1) If the interior check found deteriorated grease, add grease.
Caution:
When the actuator is moved back and forth continuously over a distance of 30 mm or less, grease film may
disappear. As a guide, move the actuator back and forth over a distance of 50 mm or more for five cycles or
so after every 5,000 to 10,000 back-and-forth operations over a short distance. This will restore the oil film.
12.2 Visual Inspection of the Machine Exterior
Check the following items visually.
Main body and work part Loose mounting bolts, etc.
Cables
Damage to cables, connection of connectors
General
Noise, vibration
12.3 External Cleaning
x
Clean the exterior surfaces from time to time.
x
Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.
x
Depending on the situation, base oil of grease may ooze out to the actuator surface. If oil has oozed out, wipe
it off using a soft cloth, etc.
x
To prevent dust from entering the actuator through gaps and openings, do not clean the actuator by blowing
highly compressed air onto it.
x
Do not use petroleum-based solvents as they damage plastic parts and painted surfaces.
x
If the unit gets badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with a neutral detergent or alcohol and wipe the soiled area
gently.
