12. Maintenance/Inspection
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.
Visual inspection of
machine exterior
Interior check Lubrication
At start of operation {
After 1 month of operation {
After 6 months of operation { { {
(Note 1)
After 1 year of operation { { {
Every 6 months thereafter {
Every year thereafter { { {
(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
Stainless sheet Damage to the sheet, slacking
General
Noise, vibration
x Check the stainless sheet for slacking every month and if any slack is found, adjust the stainless sheet until it
is not longer slacked.
x As a rough guide, the life of the stainless sheet corresponds to a travelled distance of 5,000 km.
x However, replace the stainless sheet before its life is reached, if deemed necessary depending on the
condition of use.
x As a rule, the customer must bring the actuator to IAI, or IAI’s service personnel must visit the customer’s site,
to replace the stainless sheet.
x If the actuator is affixed vertically, grease applied to the guide may drip depending on the environment. In this
case, clean the dripped grease and add grease as necessary.
