4.4 Lubrication of the Motor Unit
To protect the linear guide unit of the motor unit against wear and damage, and assure a
sufficiently long product life, it is important to keep the guide unit constantly lubricated.
For the linear guide unit of the motor unit, apply sufficient grease for lubrication from the
grease filling ports shown in the figure below using a grease gun whenever the motor has
operated for 100 km of driving distance or three months, whichever is sooner. After
application, wipe away the excess grease from the linear guide unit using lint-free cloth or
similar material. The rails of the linear guide unit require lubrication. Do not wipe the motor
with organic solvent or similar substance. Using such solvent may damage the guide and
motor units.
Different types of grease should be used depending on the model used. Be sure to refill with
the appropriate grease. If in doubt, consult Yokogawa regarding the type of grease and
grease gun to be used.
