9.3.2.1 Grease Replenishment
(Refer to Fig
. 9-5(a) “L-Axis Speed Reducer Diagram” and Fig. 9-5(b) “L-
Axis Grease Replenishment”.)
1. Remove the hexagon socket head plugs from the grease inlet and
g
rease exhaust port.
2. Install a grease zerk A-PT1/8 to the grease inlet.
(The grease zerk is delivered with the manipulator.)
3. Inject grease through the grease inlet using a grease gun
– Grease type: Molywhite RE No.00
– Amount of grease: 360 cc
(720 cc for 1st supply)
– Air supply pressure of grease pump: 0.3 MPa or less
– Grease injection rate: 8 g/s or less
4. If you cannot inject grease with your grease gun, prepare a grease
h
ose as shown in Fig. 9-5(b) “L-Axis Grease Replenishment” and
inject grease.
5. Move the L-axis for a few minutes t
o discharge excess grease.
6. Wipe the discharged grease with a cloth, a
nd reinstall the plug. Before
installing the plug, apply Three Bond 1206C on the thread part of the
plug. Then tighten the plug with a tightening torque of 24.5 N•m
(2.5 kgf•m).
7. Remove the grease zerk from the grease inlet, and reinstall the plug.
Before ins
talling the plug, apply Three Bond 1206C on the thread part
of the plug. Then tighten the plug with a tightening torque of 4.9 N•m
(0.5 kgf•m).
• If grease is injected with the plug on, grease will leak
inside the motor and may cause a damage. Make sure to
remove the plug before the grease injection.
• Do not install a joint, a hose, etc. to the grease exhaust
port. Failure to observe this instruction may result in
damage to the motor due to coming off of an oil seal.
