7.1
Lubricating the M-238
Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the M-238, the following
maintenance measures are required:
Maintenance Run
The maintenance run serves the purpose of distributing the existing lubricant.
If the M-238 is moved continuously over a short travel range (<20 % of the entire travel
range) in an industrial situation, do a run across the entire travel range approximately
every 2000 motion cycles.
Relubricating
Under laboratory conditions, the positioner needs relubrication in exceptional cases only. For
continuous industrial use, the lubrication intervals must be determined individually.
If you have any questions on relubricating, contact our customer service department
(p. 21).
7.2
Cleaning the M-238
