Clean the Strip Seal
Clean the strip seals, if installed, using a lint free cloth lightly saturated with
isopropyl alcohol.
Refer to the Remove the Strip Seal on page 69 and Replace the Strip Seal on
page 71 when performing this task.
Clean the Cover
Clean the covers at the same time you clean the strip seals. Use pressurized air and
a lint free cloth lightly saturated with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or
grease.
IMPORTANT Replace the strip seal if it cannot be cleaned, or if an uneven or
scored surface is detected during cleaning.
A buildup of foreign material on the strip seal degrades the
performance of the linear stage. This buildup coupled with rapid
movement of the carrier and the resulting friction will score the
surface and create a burnished appearance on the strip seal.
Elements that contribute to a typical buildup on the strip seals are
dust, grease, and other contaminants normally encountered in any
operating environment that is not strictly controlled.
