Successful repair is not the end, good maintenance is the key to ensure the long-term stable operation of the ball screw:
I. Regular lubrication:
Lubricate strictly according to the time interval and grease brand specified by the manufacturer. This is the most important maintenance!
Use a dedicated grease nozzle or automatic lubrication system.
The amount of grease should be moderate. Too much may cause poor heat dissipation, and too little may cause insufficient lubrication.
Pay attention to the cleanliness of the grease.
II. Dustproof seal:
Ensure that the seals at both ends of the nut are intact and effective.
The equipment itself should be equipped with an effective protective cover (bellows, telescopic cover), especially in dusty, chip-rich, and corrosive environments.
III. Regular inspection:
Regularly monitor the operating noise.
Check the status of the seal.
Regularly check the positioning accuracy.
Monitor the operating temperature.
Avoid overload and impact: It is strictly forbidden to operate beyond the rated load and avoid hard collisions.
Keep the equipment clean: Regularly clean the inside of the equipment, especially the chips and dust near the screw.
Summary
After the repair is completed, implementing a strict preventive maintenance plan, especially regular, correct, sufficient and clean lubrication, is the fundamental guarantee for maximizing the performance and life of the ball screw.
