General Frame maintenance
Vention extrusion frames can be assembled using anti-vibration products such as thread locker, lock washers or wedge locking washers. Regardless of which
anti-vibration product is used or if none are used it is still important to periodically check the tightness of all fasteners in an assembly. Machines that
experience large vibrations or have significant safety risks should be checked more frequently. At minimum, we recommend checking fastener tightness in
the following intervals:
1. Upon receipt of your pre-assembled Vention assembly (or upon final assembly).
2. Both 24 and 48 hours after first commissioning.
3. Every 3 months for machines exposed to vibrations.
Fasteners should be checked by attempting to tighten a sample set of bolts to 13-15Nm. If the bolts do not maintain the specified torque, it is likely that the
effects of vibration are causing them to loosen and they should be checked regularly for loosening.
Lubrication
Proper lubrication minimizes friction, dissipates heat, reduces seal wear, keeps contaminants out, and ensures everything runs smoothly.
For all motion system that requires lubrication, we recommend using a suitable grease with a viscosity grade of NLGI 2. Vention also offers a synthetic
lubricant in a squeeze-tube container (
) and a grease gun designed for squeeze-tube containers (
).
Prior to doing any maintenance work:
Never perform work on equipment that is energized.
Always follow proper lockout procedures as well as all local safety rules and regulations.
Make sure to use the proper safety equipment at all times.
