Lifting
actuator
AK00131
Item D,
Fig.6
Always use spindle
grease: Mobilith SCH
460 from Mobil .
The gear of the actuator is lubricated for
life and does not need to be serviced.
The spindle and the spindle nut in the
actual actuator (Fig 6a) are not lubricat-
ed for life and therefore need relubricat-
ing. The actuator is thoroughly lubricated
on delivery.
Relubricating (Fig 6a) :
• Run the actuator away from bottom
dead centre (bottom dead centre is when
the actuator’s piston is not run out).
• Fill max. 2 ml lubricant via the grease
nipple (shown in the diagram below).
• Run the actuator in the bottom position
before it is used again.
Min. every 6 month, or in
case of unusual noises
or vibrations.
The spindle nut
“screams” if there is in-
sufficient lubrication.
It is important to keep the
spindle well lubricated
because this is important
for the lifespan of the nut.
However, there should
not be too much grease
because this can be
squeezed out of the actua -
tor and potentially get into
the gears.
