Cleaning

Overview

The linear guide is located inside the axis body and it is covered.

Care must be taken with cleaning products as some active agents may have deleterious effects on the material of the axis.

NOTICE

CORROSION CAUSED BY CLEANING AGENTS

oCarry out a compatibility test in relation to the cleaning agent and the component affected before using a cleaning agent.

oDo not use alkaline detergent in the interior of the mechanics.

oDo not use any chloride-containing cleaning agents.

oDo not use any sulphuric acid containing detergent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

For more information about the material properties of the axis, refer to Information About Increased Corrosion Resistance or contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.

Cleaning the Axis

The axis must be inspected, large particles and dirt must be removed from the surface, and the axis must be cleaned at regular intervals. When cleaning the axis, note the following:

oDo not use compressed air for cleaning.

oThe anodized surface only has a limited resistance to alkaline cleaning agents. Therefore, use only neutral cleaning agents for cleaning.

oUse only damp, soft, and lint-free cleaning cloths to wipe the surface.

NOTE: Depending on the operating conditions and requirements, verifying and cleaning may be necessary on a more frequent basis.

Cleaning the Cover Strip (Optional Equipment)

The cover strip is teflon coated. The friction causes abrasion on the cover strip.

Remove abrasion dust at regular intervals. For further information, refer to the cleaning intervals in the Maintenance Plan.
