Lubricating joints using special grease
To ensure that the gears function correctly and have the optimum life, only special
grease supplied by Universal Robots must be used.
This special grease is manufactured by Harmonic Drive AG specifically for use in the
gears.
Special grease, like other spare parts and tools, may be ordered from Universal
Robots.
Tools required:
Torx T10 screwdriver
Pressure lubrication press
Heavy-duty gloves.
Procedure
To top up the grease, remove the M3 screw between the cover and the contacting
surface of the robot joint.
Use a pressure gun to insert grease
in the hole, thereby distributing it to
the gear.
Top up as follows for every 10,000
hours of operation:
Each size 1 joint – 3,5 g of grease
Each size 3 joint – 15 g of grease.
Replace the screw in the hole and
tighten to 0.6 Nm.
Throughly clean away any excess
grease.
