Maintenance
Follow these steps to maintain your electric cylinder.
1. Remove power to the electric cylinder.
Lock-out and tag-out the electric cylinder at the power source.
2. Check the axial play of the thrust rod for wear of the spindle nut.
Increased noise is one indicator of wear.
3. Clean the electric cylinder with a soft cloth and, if needed, non-abrasive cleaning
solution.
4. Lightly dampen a soft cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe the thrust rod and seal.
ATTENTION: If a worn spindle nut breaks on a vertically or diagonally mounted electric
cylinder, the work load falls. Uncontrolled moving mass can cause personal injury or
damage to equipment.
