D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
Use the following instructions to re-lubricate the bellows tracks. The tracks might require re-lubrication if the
bellows begin to bind.
Lubricate the bellows tracks during or after cleaning the stage (see
Begin by removing power from the stage. Unbolt the bellows from the stage endplates. Move the stage
carriage to one end of travel and compress the bellows. Clean the bellows track with Acetone to remove any
leftover grease. After the solvent has dried, brush new grease onto the track. Aerotech recommends NSK
LGU grease. Move the stage carriage to the opposite end of travel and repeat the process on the newly
exposed track.
After you have completed re-lubrication, reattach the bellows to the stage end plates and restore power to
