Bearing Cleaning and Lubrication
Use the MP-Series™ Integrated Linear Stage grease pump kit, (catalog number
MPAS-GPUMP), and additional grease cartridges as necessary.
To clean and lubricate the linear thruster bearings do the following.
1.
If your linear thruster has the strip cover option, remove it by following
the procedure on page
2.
Clean grease from the bearing by using clean lint free cloth and isopropyl
alcohol.
3.
Place the grease pump on the grease fitting just inside the stator housing,
pushing in until firm contact with the grease fitting is made.
4.
Pump the handle until back pressure is felt, or a maximum of two strokes
is made.
5.
Repeat steps 1 and 3 on all grease fittings.
If your linear thruster has a strip cover, do the following.
1.
Carefully slide the slider cover the through the plastic end-caps
centering it on the linear thruster.
2.
Clean all screws and apply fresh Loctite 242.
3.
Install the end clamps with the M3 x 0.5 x 6 mm button head cap screws.
4.
Install the stator cover with the M3 x 0.5 x 6 mm flat head cap screws.
5.
Torque all screws to 1.1 N•m (10 lb•in).
ATTENTION:
The slider cover has sharp edges. Use care when
handling.
