12 MAINTENANCE & SERVICE – MODELS F105 / F305 / F505 / F505H
12.1 Physical Maintenance
Series F test frames should be operated in a dry and clean area. Under these circumstances the main
consideration is lubrication of the ball screw and slider. Periodic lubrication improves performance and
increases the longevity of test frame components.
12.1.1 Ball screw lubrication – twice per year
Ball screw lubrication frequency should increase if the frame is operated in adverse environmental
conditions, including airborne dust, temperature and humidity extremes, and other factors. Follow these
instructions:
1. Remove the upper and lower bellows to expose the ball screw, by separating the Velcro strips at
each end of the crosshead. Velcro locations are identified in the image below:
2. Using a brush, apply a small amount of general-purpose bearing grease to the screw, as shown
in the image below:
3. Cycle the crosshead up and down several times until the newly applied grease has been spread
evenly over the length of the screw.
4. Re-install the bellows.
