CAUTION. It is strongly recommended that the forcer over-temperature sensor is connected to the drive amplifier or servo controller at all times in order to reduce the risk of damage to the forcer due to excessive temperatures. Version 03.2018 | Page/ Seite 11 www.dunkermotoren.com...
The bearing system must only be lubricated via the bearing carriages. Do not lubricate the bearing rail. Do not lubricate the thrust rod, it is not a bearing surface. Version 03.2018 | Page/ Seite 12 www.dunkermotoren.com...
Page 13
Version 03.2018 | Page/ Seite 13 www.dunkermotoren.com The grease gun nozzle does not attach itself to the bearing carriage lubrication nipple, so opposing pressure will need to be applied to the grease gun and the forcer, to ensure the grease is going into the bearing carriage during re-greasing.

Should excessive play be detected in the bearing system the bearing will need replacing. It is recommended that all bearing carriages and the bearing rail are replaced at the same time. Due to the complex nature of the process and specialist equipment required, please contact your supplier regarding replacement. Version 03.2018 | Page/ Seite 22 www.dunkermotoren.com...
Service SERVICE Should you need to return any items to Dunkermotoren, before doing so, please call our Sales coordinator in order to obtain an RMA (Returned Materials Authorisation) number. The RMA number should then be quoted on all items returned and quoted for all enquiries.
