7 Maintenance and care
WARNING
Unexpected movement of components.
Injury due to impact or pinching.
When working on the axis, switch off the controller and secure it to prevent it from
being switched back on unintentionally.
Clean the axis as required with a soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
Check wear
Check reversing backlash (reverse play) of the slide for wear of the spindle nut during each mainten­
ance procedure. The wear on the ball screw will lead to increased noise in the long term and eventu­
ally cause the ball screw to block or the spindle nut to break. The maximum permitted reversing
backlash is:
Size 70 80 120 150
