1 Maintenance of linear motors
The stators will be shipped with an initial lubrication. Maintenance will only be required if the motors run 'dry'
or there is a heavy pollution of the motors.Under normal industrial conditions (5 day, 8 h / day) one inspection
every 3 months is adequate. The inspection cycle must be shortened if severe motor loads or deviating
conditions exist. These conditions are for example:
•
Permanent fouling
•
Direct sunshine
•
Low Humidity
•
Outdoor operation
•
Increased operating temperature
1.1 Mounting
Sliders with a length ≤ 500 mm (20 in) are to be inserted in a clean contition in the stator.
Sliders with a length > 500 mm (20 in) must be lubricated with LU02. 4 g of lubricant per meter slider is
enough to create a film of lubricant on the surface of the sliders. 4 g (0.14 oz) is about ½ of a hazel-nut.
The grease can be applied by hand or with a soft paper towel.
If wipers are used then the inner side of the seals of the wipers must be lubricated as well.
Basically, it must be ensured that only a thin film of grease is applied. 4 g of grease per
1000 mm of slider length is sufficient for this purpose. Over lubrication leads to a gumming
of the grease, which appears particularly at higher operating temperatures! In this case, a
complete cleaning of the motor has to be made.
1.2 Inspection
Inspections have to be executed according to the operating condition and the load of motors. Following
points have to be checked during inspection:
a) Is a film of lubricant on the slider? If not -> Lubrication
b) Is the wiper (if existent) without visible wear? If not -> Replace wipers
c) Is the lubricant homogeneous and not decomposed? In case of negation -> Cleaning (stator, slider) +
Lubrication
d) Can the slider be moved easily? If not -> Cleaning (stator, slider) + Lubrication
1.3 Cleaning
•
Pull the sliders carefully out of the stator.
Attention! Strong magnetic attraction forces (note safety instructions on page 5)!
Use non magnetic material (e.g. wood) to cover close-by iron constructions.
•
Clean slider and stator with a soft disposable paper, ideally with the help of LU06 cleaning spray (or
methylated spirits or alcohol).
•
Afterwards, lubricate the bore of the stators with about 2-3 g (0.1 oz) grease LU02.
There should only be a slight film of lubricant.
Note: Do not over lubricate!
•
Finally, slider should be lubricated according to the chapter 'mounting'.
