Lubrication
Lubrication of Shaft : Use normal ball bearing grease
or oil SAE 40 . Clean the shaft and spread the grease / oil as thinly as
possible.
Lubricate the reversal mechanism, particularly the springs
with high viscosity machine oil SAE 90
Frequency: Weekly. When the operating conditions are severely demanding
like extremely dusty conditions, corrosive environments, or at
temperature over 70º shorter intervals are recommended.
Loss of Side Thrust
Traverse units are factory set for side thrust as per specifications. If
there is any deterioration in thrust after a long period of operation
due to wear out this can be compensated by adjusting the thrust screw
provided.
A large slotted screw is provided on the unit bottom side
(side of Reversal mechanism) for adjustments. Method:
Slowly tighten the thrust screws to increase the side thrust. Should not
be over tightened. The crowned bearings (Rolling Rings) can be replaced.
