5 Maintenance and Inspection Instructions
5.1 Maintenance intervals of MagSpring products
The stators are provided with initial lubrication at the factory. Maintenance is only necessary
if the MagSprings run dry or are heavily soiled.
The following maintenance schedule assumes a 5-day week with a daily operating time of 8 hours. Central
European industrial conditions are assumed. In the case of deviating requirements, such as heavy and
permanent soiling, direct sunlight, operation outdoors, low humidity, increased operating temperature, etc.,
the maintenance schedule must be shortened until application-specific empirical values are available.

5.2 Inspection, lubrication and cleaning
5.2.1 Lubrication during assembly
When assembling MagSpring products, sliders with a length ≤ 500 mm must be inserted into the stator in a
cleaned condition.
Sliders must be lightly greased before assembly. To do this, grease the slider along its length with approx. 4
g of LU02 grease (4 g = approx. ½ hazelnut) per metre.
The grease can be applied by hand or with a soft paper towel.
Basically, make sure that there is only a light film of grease on the sliders. 4 g grease per
1000 mm slider length is sufficient for this. Overgreasing can lead to gumming of the
grease! In this case, the MagSpring must be cleaned completely.
5.2.2 Inspection
Depending on the ambient conditions and the load on the MagSprings, inspections must be carried out.
When inspecting the MagSprings, check the following points:
•
Is the slider covered with a light film of grease? If no -> lubrication
•
Has the lubricant decomposed? If yes -> cleaning (stator, slider) + lubrication
•
Can the slider be moved smoothly? If no -> cleaning (stator, slider) + lubrication
5.2.3 Cleaning
•
Carefully pull the slider out of the stator.
Caution: Large magnetic attraction forces (observe warning notice on p. 5)! If necessary, cover
nearby iron constructions with non-magnetic material (e.g. wood).
•
Clean the slider and stator with soft disposable paper, ideally with the aid of LU06 cleaning spray
(alternatively methylated spirits or alcohol). Do not use cleaning fluids containing solvent additives,
petroleum or similar products.
