4.1.1.7.Replacing the Linear Bearings
The chamber must be vented and opened for this procedure. If possible, use dry
nitrogen to vent the chamber.
Remove the drive belt as described previously. Loosen the three M6 screws in
the split clamps on the top rod ring and remove the top rod ring.
Remove the upper bumper stop assembly from the rod by removing both
retaining rings from the rod. Remove the ribbon cable wires connected to the
cart. Remove the ribbon cable clamp on the cart, and gently lift the cart off the
guide rods.
Two retaining rings secure each bearing to the cart. To remove the rings, they
must be wound off the end of each bearing. Slide the linear bearings out of the
cart and slide the new ones in. Replace the retaining rings.
NOTE: Venting holes have been added to the linear bearings by Micro-g
Solutions. In addition, the normal bearing lubricant has been replaced by a
special low vapor pressure oil (Krytox 143AC).
Reverse the above procedure to replace the cart.
