Figure 8: MO-LM-026-XXXX, Enclosed Timing Belt Actuator.
When to lubricate (Bearing):
The actuator comes completely pre-lubricated. The maintenance must be performed at the first maintenance interval.
Once a year, or after every 100 km of travel—whichever comes first.
The lubrication interval is application-dependent. You may need to lubricate more frequently depending on the duty cycle, usage, and environment. If the
lubricant appears to be dispersed before this point or has become dry or crusted, the maintenance interval should be reduced.
Before lubrication:
Remove the grease port cover.
Manually move the gantry to the end of travel so that the grease fitting is visible through the grease port.
Lubrication Procedure:
Connect the grease gun to the grease fitting using the 90 degree push on grease fitting.
Pump the grease gun until 7ml of the grease has been injected (approximately 20 pumps of our grease gun).
Manually jog the machine to the other end of travel and repeat the previous steps on the opposite bearing grease fitting.
The total amount of grease injected should be 14ml of NLGI 2 grease.
If lubricating MO-LM-027-XXXX, MO-LM-040-XXXX, or MO-LM-041-XXXX, this process must be done for both bearings on either end of the gantry system.
Figure 9: Green arrow points to one of the possible grease ports. Remove the port and bring the gantry to end-of-travel to expose the Zerk fitting.
When to lubricate (Cover Strip):
The actuator comes completely pre-lubricated. The maintenance must be performed at the first maintenance interval or if any dryness is present on the
strip.
Once every other month, or after every 50 km of travel—whichever comes first.
