Clean the EGC-FA guide axis as required with a soft cloth.
Any agents that do not damage the material may be used as cleaning agents.
For greasing the roller bearing guide (not possible for EGC-....-GP/GQ):
Note
The lubrication interval S
lowing factors can contribute here:
– Dusty and dirty environment
– Nominal strokes 2000 mm
– Speeds 2 m/s
– Travel profile Z delta operation (frequent acceleration and braking)
– Ambient temperatures +40 °C
– Product has been in operation for 3 years.
If one of these factors applies, halve the lubrication interval S
If several factors apply at the same time, reduce the lubrication interval by three-
quarters.
1. Calculate the load comparison factor fv with
the help of the formula for combined loads
(è 11 Technical data) and read the lubrica
tion interval S
(è Fig. 8).

2. Grease the roller bearing guide at all relubrica
tion openings 9 (permitted roller bearing
grease è 9 Accessories).
3. Move the slide the complete travel distance
during greasing in order to distribute the
