Maintenance
MPS75SL/SLE Hardware Manual
4.2. Cleaning and Lubrication
D A N G E R : Remove power before connecting or disconnecting electrical components or
cables. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the equipment.
W A R N I N G : In applications that have multiple stages bolted together to form multi-axis
systems, the orthogonality may be lost if the stage tables of the support stages are loosened.
Precision aligned stages should not be loosened or disassembled.
W A R N I N G : Further disassembly of the stage is not recommended because proper
assembly and calibration can only be done at the factory. In addition, a laser interferometer is
required for post assembly verification to maintain warranties. Contact Aerotech for more
information.
Cleaning
Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the MPS75SL/SLE, blow away small particles and dust with
nitrogen or, less preferably, clean, dry, compressed air.
Any external metal surface of the MPS75SL/SLE can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
Harsher solvents, such as acetone, may damage the plastic and rubber seals on the ball screw or damage
the cross-roller bearing cages. If acetone is required, avoid the screw and bearing seals. Acetone can also
damage the black paint on the motor and encoder covers
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all solvent has completely evaporated before attempting to
move the stage.
