    ∙ A place where a vibration or shock does not transmit to the main unit ⿟ This product is provided with antirust treatment before being packed. When storing the product, enclose it in a package designated by THK and store it in a horizontal orientation while avoiding high temperature, low temperature and high humidity.
  • Page 13: Installation And Operation

    Failure to do so may cause fire and electric shocks, or may cause malfunction that could lead to injury, fault or fracture. ⿟ If any moving part may fall by its own weight in vertical application or the like, provide a safeguard for preventing the part from falling.
  • Page 14: Precautions To Be Observed For Prevention Of Product Fault Or Fracture

    ∙ A place where a vibration or shock does not transmit to the main unit ⿟ Standard models of this product are designed based on use in a horizontal position. Use in other positions may or may not be possible depending on the conditions. Contact THK for details.
  • Page 15 In addition, be sure to mount the product on a sufficiently rigid base. * This product has been measured for accuracy on a JIS grade 0 equivalent surface plate. When all accuracies are required, we recommend the flatness in Table 1.
  • Page 16 ⿟ The standard sensors (photomicro sensors) do not have the water-proof or dust-proof structure. Do not use it in a place where much dust or oil mist is present, or where water, oil or chemical directly or indirectly flies. For other detail information, see the catalog issued by the sensor manufacturer.

    Otherwise, it may ignite the grease, which could cause fire. * For other information on handling grease, see the precautions indicated on the grease package or catalog. We have “Material Safety Data Sheets” for THK original greases. Contact THK for details.
  • Page 20: Daily Inspection

    ⿟ Perform more detailed inspection approximately once every 3 to 6 months. ∙ Check the lubrication state, and then clean the product and replenish the grease. ∙ Inspect whether each mounting bolt has loosened, and if any of them has loosened, retighten it. A/AX...
  • Page 21: Lubrication

    * Note that the greasing interval becomes shorter than usual under the environment where oil content decreases. ⿟ For lubrication, the LM guide part has a grease nipple as standard. Table 4 shows the model numbers of the grease nipples and applicable nozzle types of the grease gun.
  • Page 22: Method For Supplying Grease

    1. Wipe off the old grease or stains using a clean waste cloth. 2. Supply grease using a grease gun as indicated in the figure below: (Move the table or ball screw by hand to permeate the grease throughout. ) 3.

  • Page 26: Maximum Speed

    * The permissible input torque value is calculated from the bearing permissible axial load. * If you use a motor that exceeds the permissible input torque, consider taking a necessary measure such as limiting the motor torque. (Be careful, as the standard servo motor maximum peak torque value is larger than the permissible input torque above.

  • Page 36: Introduction Of The Grease Gun Unit

    The grease gun unit MG70 is capable of supplying grease by replacing the dedicated nozzle. The grease gun has a slit window that allows you to visually check the remaining amount of grease. Since grease is contained in a 70 g bellows cartridge, you can replace the nozzle without soiling your hand.
  • Page 37 Fig. 16 shows the shapes of the nozzles and attachment for the grease gun used for lubrication. * It allows you to supply grease to a part difficult to lubricate (by dropping grease onto the raceway) by using the P type attachment.
