With short stroke applications with one stroke below the double nut length, a sufficient lubricant supply
of the nut is not ensured. In this case, the lubrication is to be applied to several spots on the nut.
We recommend the use of the STEPCRAFT Machine Lubricant (item no. 10050).
Bosch Rexroth Ball Bearing Guide
Bosch Rexroth ball bearing guides, like the igus® dryspin threaded lead screws, basically do not re-
quire maintenance or lubrication. Nevertheless, we recommend the regular lubrication with a low-vis-
cosity oil (for example sewing machine oil) for smooth running optimization and noise reduction.
We recommend the use of the STEPCRAFT Cleansing Oil (item no. 12051).
Recommended Maintenance Works
The STEPCRAFT M-Series is to the greatest extent maintenance-free. Handle your CNC system with
care to ensure a long service life. Regular maintenance has a substantial impact on the service life of
your machine. Frequently clean the CNC system with a damp cloth.
X-Axis
igus® dryspin threaded lead screws (or optional HIWIN® ball screws) and Bosch Rexroth ball bearing
guides are to be regularly checked, cleansed of dirt and lubricated if necessary. To better reach the
lead screws, remove the two filler plugs at the gantry and guide the protection brushes through the
opening to the outside.
Y-Axis
Move the gantry to the front. Remove the screws of the side covers and unscrew the four big screws
at the front of the machine. Remove the aluminum covers. Take extra care to leave the cable routing
undamaged! You can now clean and lubricate the guides and lead screws.
Z-Axis
Please maintain the Z-axis in the same way as the X-axis, with the difference that the maintenance
interval is generally shorter due to the open position of the guides. To do this, move the Z-axis all the
way up to maintain the upper part and all the way down to maintain the lower part.
Control Housing
Open the control cover and clean the electronics area underneath from dust and impurities.
