The maintenance of linear motor modules directly determines the long-term operational stability of individual automata or automatic pipelines. Under 24-hour continuous operation, mechanical components are not only at risk of loss but also require meticulous maintenance.
As a professional linear module manufacturer, we detail the maintenance procedures for linear motor modules as follows:
I. Daily Inspection Points
1. Protection & Connection Components:
Check the protective covers and cables for damage, indentation, or signs of pulling, which may affect equipment protection and circuit stability.
2. Transmission Components Monitoring:
Focus on abnormal vibrations or noises from ball screws, linear guides, and bearings, as unusual sounds often indicate component wear or faults.
3. Power Transmission Units:
Inspect the motor and coupling for abnormal vibrations or noises to avoid affecting power transmission accuracy.
4. Overall Visual Inspection:
Conduct a comprehensive check of all visible parts for unexplained dust accumulation, oil stains, or surface scratches to identify potential hazards promptly.
Note: Lubrication of
Linear Guideways and ball screw kits is critical. During operation, insufficient regular lubricating oil (or grease) will significantly increase friction between balls and raceways, potentially shortening the service life of linear motion guides and linear screw assemblies.
II. Maintenance Procedures
1. Linear Guide Maintenance:
Frequency: Monthly.
Steps:
Clean old lubricant using a lint-free cloth, wiping the guide surface and raceways thoroughly.
Apply lubricating oil evenly on the guide surface and rub gently to ensure full penetration and effective lubrication.
2. Ball Screw Maintenance:
Frequency: Monthly.
Steps:
Remove old lubricant and wipe the screw and raceways clean with a lint-free cloth.
Apply lubricating oil evenly on the ball screw surface and rub to ensure complete coverage.
Sensor Cleaning:
Regularly inspect the photoelectric area of sensors. If foreign objects or dust are detected, wipe them with a dry lint-free cloth immediately to ensure normal sensor functionality and prevent malfunctions caused by induction errors.
Conclusion: Without proper maintenance, even high-performance linear motor modules cannot achieve optimal performance and are prone to damage. Strictly following these maintenance procedures will ensure the efficient and stable operation of linear motor modules.
