Lubrication Grease
For standard non-cleanroom modules (module part numbers that begin with
90400-XXXXX), Shell Alvania No. 2 grease is recommended. Adept does not supply this
grease for the modules product and purchase this grease from a third-party.
For cleanroom modules (module part numbers that begin with 90401-XXXXX) a special
cleanroom grease is required. This grease is supplied by Adept Technology. The Adept
part number is 90401-04029 for a single tube with 50 cc of grease. Please contact Adept
customer service to order this grease.
Grease Adapter Nozzle
The grease fittings on the modules have a 4.5 mm (0.8 inch) diameter and a small
ballcheck in the center. A special adapter is required for these fittings.
The grease adapter nozzle is supplied by Adept Technology. The Adept part number is
90400-04100. Please contact Adept Customer Service to order a grease adapter nozzle.
Lubrication Procedures
1. Remove the plastic black circular cap(s) from the module. The cap is
approximately 10 mm (0.5 inch) diameter.
• The H-Module has two black caps located on each side of the module at the
end of the module opposite the motor.
• The M-Module has a single black cap located on the same side of the module
as the cable connections and near the motor end of the module.
