Maintenance
Chapter 4: Maintenance
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule
Lubricant inspection and replenishment in AGR series stages depends on conditions such as duty cycle,
speed, and the environment. An inspection interval of once every two weeks is recommended until a trend
develops for the application. Longer or shorter intervals may be required to maintain the film of lubricant on
the worm threads.
In general, stages that operate in a clean environment at 50% duty cycle or less must be lubricated monthly
or every 75,000 revolutions (which ever comes first). For long-term reliability, we recommend that you return
the stage to Aerotech after 300,000 rotation cycles for cleaning, relubrication, and gearing adjustments. For
stages that operate at higher duty cycles, lubrication once every two weeks is recommended.
If the application process uses only a small portion of travel for most of the duty cycle, periodically drive the
stage through full travel to redistribute the lubrication in the bearingsand worm drive.
Monthly inspections should include but not be limited to:
l
Visually inspect the stage and cables.
l
Re-tighten loose connectors.
l
Replace or repair damaged cables.
l
Clean the AGR and any components and cables as needed.
l
Repair any damage before operating the AGR.
l
Inspect and perform an operational check on all safeguards and protective devices.
