Parker EME Maintenance and service192-510014 N06 April 2013 173.2 Maintenance scheduleNote Please take special care during all maintenance and repair that the guiding surfaceremains intact!WHEN WHAT ACTIONAfter commissioning Sliding carriage Check free movement of the sliding carriage by manuallymoving the sliding carriage. (Check) (see on page 17)every 4 weeks or every 1000 km* Sliding carriageCheck sliding carriage play and replace sliding blocks ifnecessary. (Exchange wearing parts) (see on page 17)Check free movement of the sliding carriage by manuallymoving the sliding carriage. (Check) (see on page 17)semi-annually or every 5000 km Toothed beltVisual inspection of the toothed belt for wear. Changetoothed belt if necessary. (Check toothed belt) (see onpage 20)*With the first set of sliding blocks (new LCB) please check the sliding carriage playweekly or every two weeks, as an increased wear can be expected during the initialbreak-in phase.3.3 Check free movement of the sliding carriageMove the sliding carriage manually over the entire stroke distance after assemblyor setup. The sliding carriage must move easily and with constant force. If thesliding carriage does not move easily or rather "joltily", please check the following: Make a visual inspection of the guiding. Check for visual wear and forsmoothness of the guiding surface. If necessary, replace profile. If the forceneeded to move the sliding carriage changes continually (increases or decreasescontinually), an alignment error of the double-axis actuator could be the case.New alignment of double axis (see on page 13). Possibly too high deflection of the guiding profile. If needs be, reduce distancebetween supports (see on page 11). If the causes mentioned above do not apply, please check the sliding carriageplay (check sliding play) (see on page 18).3.4 Replacement interval for wearing partsCheck sliding carriage / play of sliding carriageThe diagrams "Bearing capacity of sliding carriage / wear" show the wear of thesliding blocks in an ideal case of load on the sliding carriage. The wear can differfrom the indicated curves in a specific application.Depending on the load and the distance traveled, the sliding blocks in the slidingcarriage wear down and the sliding carriage play will increase accordingly. If theincreased sliding carriage play does not have a negative influence on theapplication, the sliding blocks can be operated up to the wear limit (0.5 mm wearfor LCB040 and 1.0 mm wear for LCB060).The wear limit given in the diagrams may under no circumstances be exceeded -this could damage the surface of the guiding irreversibly!
