Maintenance
In this section, you will find information on lubrication, cleaning, and storing your linear
thruster.
Lubrication
Your linear thruster has been lubricated at the factory and is ready for installation. Use the
appropriate lubrication interval shown below for schedule estimates or use Motion Analyzer
software to calculate the recommenced re-grease schedule for the linear thruster.
Before You Begin
You will need the following tools to clean and lubricate your linear stage.
•
Grease pump kit (catalog number MPAS-GPUMP) with tip type installed and primed
•
Grease cartridge (catalog number MPAS-CART), included in grease pump kit.
•
Lint free cloth
•
Isopropyl alcohol, as necessary for cleaning
Recommended Maintenance Interval
Recommended maintenance and lubrication interval for frame 50, 75, 100, and 150 linear
thrusters is every 6 months or 5000 km of travel, whichever comes first. Frame 30 linear thrusters
are lubricated for life.
ATTENTION:
Lockout and tagout input power before servicing.
TIP
A grease gun typically delivers one gram of lubricant for one pump of the gun.
