13 Maintenance of SKA motors
warning
attention
SKA Direct Drive motors were designed to be used for long periods and with extremely low
maintenance demands. Nevertheless, they are still precision equipment requiring routine
work in order to maintain their specifications. The work required depends on the demands
of the type of application where they are used and the operating cycle.
Every 15,000 km of operation, lubricate the bearing slides adding new grease through the
grease cups fitted on them so that the old grease is forced out completely.
Insert approximately 1 cm³ of grease for each slide, paying attention to any waste grease
not used between the greasing cup, couplings and pump.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
•
Hexagonal spanners.
•
Straight ended lubricating pump suitable for the
illustration opposite (see any subsequent notes).
•
KP2K grease according to DIN 51825 for high
loads with EP2 additives (Kluber Isoflex NBU 15
is recommended).
Notes on the greasing cup: if you do not have a suitable terminal to centre the greasing cup
shown in the illustration, you can unscrew the greasing cup itself and inject the grease
through a terminal for M4 threaded hole or with a terminal with straight hole and tapered tip.
