 requires

10 shots

Grease gun

After sealing in the grease, move the nut about three times the full length of the nut to distribute 
the grease across the whole nut. (Figure 4-2)

*When the effective screw length is less 

than three times the length of the nut,

move it within the available stroke range.

Cautions When Sealing

  Caution

"A matter which, if mishandled, could result in 

physical injury or in only material damage."   

(1)  Grease will leak from the seal unless the shaft is rotated while sealing, preventing sealing the 

specified amount in the nut.

(2)  Wipe off any leaked grease, and redo grease sealing, following the sealing directions. Contact 

THK for the grease sealing amount.
