11. Maintenance and Inspection
11.1 Inspection Items and Schedule
Perform maintenance work according to the schedule below.
The schedule is set assuming eight hours of operation a day. When the operation time is long such as 24-hour
operation, shorten the maintenance intervals as needed.
Visual inspection Check interior Grease supply *2
Start of operation �
After 1 month of operation �
After 6 months of operation � � �
*1
After 1 year of operation � � �
Every 6 months thereafter �
Every 1 year � � �
*1 If grease is found degraded as a result of interior check, add grease.
*2 If continuous back-and-forth operations are performed over a distance of 30 mm or less, grease film may be
broken. As a guide, operate the actuator back and forth five times or so over a distance of
50 mm or more after every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles.
11.2 Visual Inspection of the Machine Exterior
Check the following items when carrying out visual inspection.
Body Loose mounting bolts?
Cables Damage to cables or connection to connector box?
Stainless sheet Damage, foreign deposit or slacks?
General Unusual noise or vibrations?
• If the stainless sheet is slacked, make adjustment as deemed necessary to remove the slacks.
• As a rough guide, the stainless sheet will last for 5,000 km of traveled distance.
However, the stainless sheet should be replaced earlier depending on the condition of use.
The stainless sheet must be replaced at an IAI site (the actuator must be brought to IAI) or at the customer’s
site by IAI’s service personnel, as a rule.
• If the actuator is fixed vertically, grease applied to the guide may drip depending on the environment. If this
happens, clean and add grease as necessary.
