* Also see the appendix, which contains the hanger mounting hole positions. (A05 to A15 and AX0505 to AX1515 do not have hanger mounting hole processing. ) * This product does not come with a hanger. When one is necessary, prepare it on your side or contact THK.
∙ 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.
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.
∙ 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.

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.

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.
5. Installation and Operation Installation and Operation Other precautions The accuracy of this product is the value in a horizontal position without moment load applied. When used in other positions or with large moment load applied, the accuracy may vary.

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.
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...
* 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.
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.
The final judgment of the warranty qualification is determined when we check the product in our site. 6-9-2 Consumables and spare parts ● Cables, LM guide, ball screw, bearings, and sensors are the consumables. A/AX...
* The cost of delivering the repaired or replacing product to customer's site is our responsibility in case of free warranty, or included in the repair charge in case of a paid repair service. However, the destination must be in Japan.
* The accuracy of this product is the value without moment load applied. When used with moment load applied, the accuracy may vary. 1-Axis Stage XY Stage Fig. 8 Static permissible moment direction A/AX...
* 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.

Introduction of the grease THK original grease AFB-LF Grease It is universal grease using a lithium-based consistency enhancer with refined mineral oil as the base oil. z Characteristics · Excels in abrasion resistance and extreme pressure resistance in comparison to off-the-shelf universal lithium-based grease due to the action of a special additive.
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.
