  • Page 7: Preventive Maintenance

    Preventive Maintenance Macron actuator and gantry systems require a few simple maintenance procedures to prolong the system life and operation. • Belt tension monitoring and tension setting Reference process- MQD-TD-01-01 Lubrication of linear rails & bearings • Reference process- MQD-TD-07-00 & MQD-TD-06-01 Cart adjustment &...

  • Page 8: Belt Tension

    Belt tension Belt tension is the most critical element of the performance of Macron belt driven Actuators and Linear Robot gantry systems. Proper belt tension ensures that the tooth of the belt and tooth of the pulley mesh smoothly for precise repeatability and near zero backlash performance.
  • Page 9 Lubrication The pulley assemblies, both drive and idler do not require lubrication. The radial bearings used in these assemblies are permanently lubricated and sealed. Dis- assembly of these pulley assemblies will result in permanent damage to the component parts and is not recommended. The guidance systems do require lubrication to prevent wear and prolong the life of the components.
  • Page 10 Cart adjustment & preloading The Cart systems on Macron Actuators and Linear Robot gantry systems are factory set for smooth motion and to ensure uniform repeatability. There are multiple cart styles across the Macron product line. Each style will require a different method of adjustment.

  • Page 16 Macron MSA-R15, MSA-R6S, & MSA-R20 actuators have linear bearing blocks and profile rail guidance systems. The linear bearing blocks used on Macron Dynamics products have “lip seals” and are pre- lubricated prior to shipment. Depending on the application environment the linear bearings will require lubrication on a preventive maintenance cycle.
