ASR1200 Rotary Stage User's Manual
Maintenance
Chapter 4: Maintenance
This chapter will cover information about component replacement, intervals between lubrications, detail the
lubrication and inspection process, and cover which lubricants are recommended for use.
To minimize the possibility of bodily injury, confirm that all electrical power is disconnected
prior to making any mechanical adjustments.
Although the ASR1200 is designed to be low maintenance, there are a few items that may require pre-
ventative maintenance during the lifetime of the stage. This chapter will detail the lubrication, inspection, and
replacement process of various components.
It is recommended that rotary seals be replaced at a minimum of every 1000 hours of serv-
ice or until a definitive trend develops. Refer to Section 4.3.3. for more details.
4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule
Seal inspection and replacement in ASR1200 series stages depends on conditions such as duty cycle,
speed, and the environment. A frequent inspection interval is recommended until a trend develops for the
application. As part of this inspection interval, the seals should be examined for excessive air or water leak-
age. The application will determine the required replacement interval for the seals. The bearings, motor, and
encoder require no lubrication or maintenance.
