Precautions
Zaber’s motion control devices are precision instruments and must be handled with care. In particular, moving
parts must be treated with care. Avoid axial loads in excess of the rated thrust load, axial and radial impact,
dust and other contaminants and damage to the drive components. These will reduce the performance of the
device below stated specifications.
Lubrication of linear guides
The X-LRQ-DEC series of linear stages use recirculating ball bearing linear guides to support and guide the
stage top of the device. These linear guides require lubrication in order to achieve the longest possible lifetime
at the highest possible performance. At the rated load of the device, it is recommended to re-lubricate each
bearing block on the linear guide at a 500 km service interval. We recommend using 0.2 cm³ per bearing
block of a NLGI Grade 2, lithium soap based grease. All guides come pre-lubricated and are ready to go out
of the box.
