Note
Regular removal of the lubricating grease on the surfaces reduces the life.
Note
• Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaning agents.

6 Maintenance
This chapter contains important technical information about the maintenance work to be carried out on the rotary index-
ing table. A detailed description of the steps for care and maintenance can be found in the operating instructions. Further
information on the assembly aids and lubricants can be found on the Festo website (

www.Festo.com ).
6.1 Cleaning and lubricating the rotary indexing table
Clean the rotary indexing table using a soft cloth and a gentle cleaning product if necessary.
The rotary indexing table is otherwise maintenance free due to its lifetime lubrication. Regular removal of the lubricant on
the surfaces reduces the service life.
Lubricate the following components after a conversion (e.g. to reciprocating motion):
• Piston chamber, seals, locking clip, gear racks, pinion and index plate.
The required grease (LUB-E1 silicone-free) is included in the conversion kits and sets of wearing parts.
General relubrication of the mechanical components every 5 million switching cycles is recommended.
Further information on the assembly aids and lubricants is included in the “Tools and repair accessories” information
brochure. The information brochure can be found in the online spare parts catalogue on the Festo website (  Tools
and repair accessories.pdf ).
6.2 Inspection interval for the shock absorber
Check the shock absorbers every 2 million strokes for the following points:
– Oil leakage
– Hard knocking
– Function (shock absorber head must not remain in the retracted end position).
