 Maintenance and Lubrication

 

6. Remount carriage end caps. Insure that the  compression springs are present under the shoulder screws in 

the carriage end caps. Due to springs screws will need to be pressed into holes to start thread engagement.

 

Square Rail Bearing Lubrication

 

See previous section on 

Internal Access

 for access 

to interior of positioner.

 

Tools Requires:

 

Shell Alvania RL 2

 

Isopropyl Alcohol

 

Clean paper towels

 

Small brush

 

Lubrication Type:

 

 

 

Use Shell Alvania RL 2 pn# 003

-

3686

-

30, non

-

EP, lithium soap thickened greases. This grease 

also inhibited with additives that promote long 

service life and provide excellent lubrication and 

corrosion protection. Shell Alvania Grease RL 2 

is readily pumpable in pressure grease 

dispensing systems. 

 

 

Lubricant Appearance:

 

 

Smooth

-

textured, amber colored.

 

 

Maintenance Frequency:

 

 

Square rail bearing blocks are lubricated at our 

facility prior to shipment. For lubrication 

inspection and supply intervals following 

shipment, apply grease every 1000 hours of 

usage. The time period may change depending 

on frequency of use and environment. Inspect 

for contamination, chips, etc, and replenish 

according to inspection results.

 

 

Lubricant Application:

 

 

Wipe the rails down the entire length with a 

clean cloth. Apply lubrication on the rails 

allowing a film of fresh grease to pass under the 

wipers and into the recirculating bearings. 

 

After bearings are relubricated, clean encoder 

tape scale located on inside wall of table.  Use 

only isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint free cloth 

or paper towel. Using a lint free cloth, wipe 

down linear tape scale to remove and dirt or 

grease. 

 

 

Caution! 

DO NOT use and other solvent to 

clean the encoder scale. Use of other 

solvents will permanently damage the 

encoder scale. Use only isopropyl alcohol.

 

 

Note: Do not use/mix petroleum base grease with 

synthetic base grease at any time. For lubrication 

under special conditions consult factory.
