6.10.2 Lubricating the Linear Guides
Tools and Materials Needed:
• Soft, Lint-free Cloth (P/N 7282236)
• Grease Gun (P/N 392455)
• Ammonia-based Cleaner
• Grease Fitting Adapter (P/N 392456)
• MULTEMP PS2 Linear Bearing Grease
(P/N 48-0024)
 NOTE Refer to Appendix A - Material Safety Information for the SDS for the MULTEMP PS2
Linear Bearing Grease.
WARNING! This procedure DOES NOT apply to the S2-9XXC (Cleanroom System). The
linear guide bearings on the S2-9XXC are packed with NSK Clean Grease LG2
at the factory. In addition, the end caps and grease fittings have been removed
and replaced with NSK Maintenance-Free Lube Blocks. The S2-9XXC DOES
NOT require additional lubrication.
To load the grease gun:
1. Unscrew and remove the pump from the grease gun canister.
2. Remove the white cap from the NSK grease cartridge (P/N 392456).
3. Remove the seal and screw the cartridge into the grease pump.
4. Fit the canister of the grease gun over the cartridge and screw into the grease pump.
5. Screw the nozzle into the grease pump.
6. Screw the grease fitting adapter into the nozzle.
7. Purge the air from the grease gun cartridge by dispensing grease into a waste receptacle
until a solid stream flows from the gun.
To lubricate the X/Y Linear Guides
1. Perform a service shutdown as specified in 2.13 Service Shutdown.
2. Manually move the dispensing head to the front of the dispensing area.
3. Remove the X-axis and Y-axis covers. See 6.9 Removing the Axis Covers.
4. Using an ammonia-based cleaner and a soft cloth, clean and wipe the X- and Y-rails.
 Manually move the dispensing head as necessary to reach all parts of the rails.
5. Locate the grease fitting on each of the three (3) X-beam Linear Bearing Cars and four (4)
Y-rail Linear Bearing Cars.
6. Attach grease gun to each fitting and pull the grease gun lever one time to squirt grease into
the bearing.
7. Use a soft cloth to clean up any excess grease.
8. Replace the X-axis and Y-axis covers.
